Nick Reiner Sealed Evidence Exposed—Alan Jackson's Exit & Insanity Defense Breakdown

Alan Jackson doesn't quit cases. He definitely doesn't quit cases while publicly declaring his client innocent. Yet that's exactly what happened in the Nick Reiner double murder prosecution—and nobody's allowed to explain why. Jackson told reporters Nick Reiner is "not guilty of murder" under California law, then informed the judge he's "legally and ethically prohibited" from continuing representation. Something in those sealed documents changed everything.

We're breaking down every piece of this puzzle in real time. The confidential medical order. The ten subpoenas Jackson's team issued before withdrawing—subpoenas the prosecution cannot access. The psychiatric evaluations happening behind closed doors. Sources confirm Nick was being treated for schizophrenia when his mother Michele Reiner and her partner were allegedly killed. He showed up to his first hearing in a suicide prevention smock. His medications reportedly aren't stable.

Attorney Eric Faddis walks us through the legal mechanics—what triggers a competency challenge, how an insanity defense actually works in California, and what it means that Jackson made his statement before walking away. The gas station footage showing Nick calmly buying a drink hours after the murders? Eric explains how that evidence "cuts both ways" and why it might not mean what prosecutors think it means.

DA Nathan Hochman hasn't ruled out the death penalty. Nick's new attorney, Deputy Public Defender Kimberly Greene, inherits a case with sealed evidence, outstanding subpoenas, and the shadow of Jackson's public declaration. The arraignment is set for February 23rd.

Join us live as we dig into what California courts are trying to keep sealed—and why Alan Jackson risked his reputation on a statement he legally cannot explain.
