Nick Reiner’s Lawyer Alan Jackson Withdrawing From Case

Nick Reiner‘s lawyer is off the case, TMZ has realized, and Nick will — at the very least in the interim — be represented by a public defender.

Sources related to the Reiner household, with direct information, inform TMZ … when lawyer Alan Jackson seems in court Wednesday morning for Nick’s arraignment, he’ll inform the choose he’s now not representing Nick.

Our sources say a public defender will step in for now, and the case might be continued. Nick is not going to enter a plea.

As for why Jackson is off the case, we’re informed the household might be releasing an announcement as quickly because the proceedings are over, and TMZ will submit it.

TMZ reported, it is doubtless Nick will finally plead not responsible by purpose of madness. He was identified with a type of schizophrenia — schizoaffective dysfunction — and we’re informed his meds had despatched him off the rails within the month earlier than the murders.

Jackson is coming off an enormous victory within the Karen Read trial in Boston, the place she was discovered not responsible for allegedly killing her boyfriend.

It’s unclear if the general public defender is a stopgap till one other lawyer takes the case, or if the general public defender will deal with the case from this level ahead.

If Jackson speaks to the media after the hearing, we’ll livestream it.
