Were Nick Reiner's Doctors Right About Him All Along?

from Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary · host True Crime Today

For years, the Reiner family publicly pushed back on the professionals treating their son — at one point even siding with Nick over the counselors who warned that he was lying and manipulating them. This segment makes the case that the experts may have been right, and that the tragedy wasn't a system that failed so much as a patient who allegedly wouldn't let it work.Nick Reiner had elite care: a facility reportedly costing tens of thousands a month, doctors managing his schizophrenia, and a family that never stopped trying. Sources say his medication was changed in the weeks before the killings — but medication only helps if it's taken, and sobriety only holds if it's maintained. Sources also describe his drug use worsening his condition to the point he was, in their words, not in his right mind.This look back examines where the case stood at the time of our reporting and weighs a difficult argument: that an insanity defense, which sources expect, doesn't erase the long chain of choices that came before. It's an opinion-driven segment about accountability and the limits of what love and money can buy. The Reiners gave their son everything the system had to offer. The question this segment puts on the table is whether the failure was the system's — or his.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleReiner #TrueCrime #Accountability #MentalHealth #Addiction #InsanityDefense #ReinerCase #HiddenKillers
