Why Did Nick Reiner's Only Visitor Turn Out To Be His Lawyer?

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

In months behind bars, sources say Nick Reiner has had exactly one visitor: his attorney. His siblings, Jake and Romy, have stepped away completely — not funding his defense, reportedly not planning to attend his trial. This segment digs into both the legal strategy ahead and the behavioral reality of a family that finally reached its limit.We start with the mechanics. The not guilty plea kept every option open — a possible insanity defense, a diminished-capacity argument aimed at reducing the charge, or a competency challenge. This look back walks through what each path would require and where things stood at the time of our reporting. Then we turn to the people who stepped back: after years of treatment, a conservatorship, and repeated crises at the family home, two siblings decided they could no longer hold on.To make sense of that, we examine three families who faced the same impossible decision. Peter Lanza, who cut contact with his son and later spoke about wishing he'd never been born. The relatives who went largely silent after the Charleston church killings. And Kerri Rawson, whose father lived a double life as the BTK killer, forcing her to grieve two versions of the same man.This is a segment about the psychology of letting go — when love stops being a lifeline and becomes a liability, and what it does to the people who carry that decision for the rest of their lives.#NickReiner #RobReiner #JakeRomyReiner #BehavioralAnalysis #TrueCrime #Boundaries #PeterLanza #KerriRawson #FamilyTragedy #HiddenKillers
