Confidentiality Forces Ex-Lawyer to Quit Nick Reiner Case
Alan Jackson, Nick Reiner’s defense attorney, says he had to withdraw from the first-degree murder case due to legal and ethical restrictions and will not discuss the reasons or retainer; he indicated circumstances beyond both his and Reiner’s control forced the split, and he maintains that Reiner is not guilty of murder under California law. The case follows the Los Angeles killings of Rob and Michele Reiner and Nick’s initial murder charge, tied to an incident at Conan O’Brien’s home the night prior.
