What Is The Reiner Defense Quietly Building During This Delay?

Months after Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed in their own home, their son Nick's case still hadn't reached a preliminary hearing — and the reason is striking. The autopsy reports weren't finished, terabytes of discovery were still changing hands, and the whole proceeding got pushed to the fall. This look back unpacks what a delay like that actually tells you.Eric Faddis — criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor — joins to read the tea leaves. Is the holdup routine, or is the defense using the time to build something? Given Nick's documented history of schizoaffective disorder and a prior conservatorship, is a mental health defense effectively inevitable? And what does it do to a victim's family when the system can't even finish the paperwork on how their loved ones died? Jake, Romy, and Tracy have been watching this crawl forward one postponed date at a time.We revisit where things stood at the time of our reporting, then turn to the more disturbing thread running alongside it. According to tabloid reports carried across several outlets, Nick is allegedly planning a tell-all from his cell aimed at the siblings who cut him off. Retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke breaks down the contradiction: someone reportedly described as almost childlike behind bars, allegedly driven at the same time by something that looks a lot like a vendetta. We treat that reporting as the unverified tabloid sourcing it is — and ask what it would reveal if it's true.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
