Come to think of it- it IS a conflict of interest for Jackson if he had previously represented Rob. Just like Donna Adelson and Rashbaum in Florida. The judge would have ordered Jackson off the case.
Agree

AJ took a break from his media rounds about withdrawing from the Nick Reiner case and picked back up on his big buck client…who is able to pay his fees.


It sure seems like he couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

This is paylocked and I don’t quite get why a conservatorship would only be temporary. But it’s good to see more recent information about the life of NR coming out, and knowing he indeed grew beyond a teenager.

Nick Reiner Was in a Mental Health Conservatorship in 2020​

Mr. Reiner, who is accused of killing his parents, was under a yearlong legal arrangement that allows for involuntary psychiatric treatment.

Reading this I get the impression the writer has loosely stitched together information already circulating about - facts, rumours or mere speculation - presenting it in DM fashion, hoping no one will notice it’s anything but a cohesive piece.

Family sources told The New York Times that Nick was taken back out of the conservatorship - which severely restricts the affected person's freedom and independence - in 2021.
[snip]
He was put under a Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (L.P.S.) conservatorship, a process brought forward by a 1967 law that establishes involuntary psychiatric treatment in California.
[snip]
L.P.S. conservatorships are initiated by a doctor and typically originates from an involuntary psychiatric hospitalization. Steven Baer, a licensed fiduciary, was appointed as his conservator.
[snip]
That specific conservatorship lasts one year. Afterward, the conservator can renew it if they wish to do so. It is unclear why Reiner's did not last more than a year.
Nick Reiner went off rails before parents' murders 'after meds change'

DM would privileged to have MSM professional journalists! It’s a well-known tabloid, generally not considered to be a primary news source.

If the Reiners has been through this process already, I don’t understand why several news reports made it seem they were very concerned about NRs recent behaviour but were at a loss in knowing what to do. Especially if medications were an issue. It’s as if some big piece of critical information is either wrong or missing.

Take away the changing medication piece and replace it with a volatile temper is a common situation involving violence/murder.

If the public defender is going to zero in on the recent schizophrenic med changes that seemingly cause Nick to flip out or whatever; I keep thinking if NR was also continuing to abuse street drugs -- that could mean the efficacy of such meds wouldn't have worked properly anyway ?

NR was a sick man but ultimately did this to himself, he has no one else to blame.
Not going to put blame on the parents, Rob and Michele as I think out of love they continued to give him chances.
If NR refused, having him committed wouldn't have been an option.

His actions after the murder still make be believe he was in his right mind just enough to understand that what he did was wrong !
We still don't know where & how he concealed the murder weapon.

From initial reports it was assumed he showered/cleaned up evidence at the hotel (blood was mentioned); but what if he did it at his parent's house ?
And made himself a snack afterwards ?
Also wondering about his phone records and if he called someone after the murders and acted like everything was normal and fine.
That may aid the prosecution as to his mental state and capabilities.
Thinking out loud.

This is like layer upon layer of insults to the ones who loved him most and never gave up on him.
Some parents/family wouldn't have allowed him to stay at all, after he'd trashed the guesthouse.
And didn't that happen before the meds were changed ?

Imo -- he was violent before the schizophrenic meds , and the murders were not solely the result of the doctors' prescriptions.
And again if he was indulging in other drugs it can't be proved that a recent med changed made him commit the murders.

Just a guess, but this may be a reason the conservatorship only went from 2020-2021….

The conservator can give consent to mental health treatment, even if the conservatee objects. S/he can legally agree to the use of psychotropic (mind-altering) drugs (but the conservatee may physically refuse to take them).

LPS (Mental Health) Conservatorship | Superior Court of California | County of Santa Clara

Did this happen when he was living on the streets?,,,,,

The Court will not let you establish an LPS conservatorship unless it finds beyond a reasonable doubt, that the mentally ill person, is gravely disabled. Gravely disabled means that, because of a mental disorder, the person cannot take care of his/her basic, personal needs for food, clothing, or shelter.

Well, its the Daily Mail. It's a tabloid, not really a professional news source.
