Lawyer Refuses to Defend Nick Reiner in Parents' Murder Case.

According to ТСН: Lawyer Nick Reiner, who is suspected of killing his father, actor and director Rob Reiner, and mother, producer Michelle Singer Reiner, has refused to represent his client in court.

This became known from news reports. Lawyer Alan Jackson announced his departure after the court session on January 7. He did not explain the reasons for his decision, stating that he has no legal or ethical right to do so, but mentioned certain 'circumstances.' Jackson also emphasized that his former client is not admitting guilt in the commission of a serious crime.

“The circumstances I could not control, but more importantly, the circumstances that were not dependent on Nick made it impossible for us to continue our representation,” the lawyer explained.

Now Nick Reiner will be defended by public defender Kimberly Green. She requested time to familiarize herself with the case and prepare for the hearing, which will take place on February 23.
