BREAKING: Alan Jackson OUT as Nick Reiner's Lawyer — Attorney Eric Faddis Explains What Went Wrong

from Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns · host Hidden Killers Podcast

It happened fast. Alan Jackson — the high-profile defense attorney who took Nick Reiner's case within hours of his arrest — just withdrew from the case, citing circumstances "beyond Nick's control." Sources point to money. But Jackson's parting words point to something else entirely: "Nick Reiner is NOT guilty of murder under California law. Print that."What does a defense attorney know after three weeks of investigation that makes him that confident? And why is he walking away?On this live breakdown, we're joined by attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to analyze the chaos unfolding in the Reiner murder case. Public defender Kimberly Greene is now on the case — she met Nick for roughly thirty seconds before the hearing and says the family wasn't even aware of the switch.Eric walks us through the mechanics: What happens to Jackson's work product? Do those ten sealed subpoenas transfer to the new defense team? How does a public defender's office prepare for a capital murder case on short notice? And does this actually hurt Nick — or does the LA County Public Defender's track record suggest otherwise?Deputy DA Habib Balian is prosecuting — the same attorney who handled the Menendez resentencing and Robert Durst trial. Does the prosecution gain an advantage from defense-side chaos?The arraignment is now set for February 23rd. No plea entered. The insanity defense is being telegraphed. And somewhere in all of this, two people are dead and their son is facing life in prison or worse.This is the Reiner case in real time.
