And there's nothing new in that article that I haven't already read elsewhere. In fact, Matt Murphy is a former prosecutor from Orange County. Very well-known. Still didn't say that Reiner won't be arraigned in March, only that the trial date may get pushed out. He'll still have to enter a plea.

Interesting. In CA a defense attorney can declare a doubt concerning competency delaying a plea. I wonder if the defense will utilize this? Nick Reiner murder trial won’t happen for at least 2 years as public defender starts from 'square one': expert

In the article the defense in CA can declare a doubt at the arraignment until NR is cleared by experts as competent.

And that hasn't happened to this point that the public knows, so until/unless that does, his arraignment set for March is still on, and he'll have to enter a plea at that time.

Wasn't his arraignment rescheduled for March? That's only a few weeks away, and I think the delay was for him to detox. He hasn't been declared Incompetent to stand trial, so he will have to enter a plea at that time.

Actually I have 2/23/26 @ 8:30am for his arraignment hearing. I tried the court site to check the date - but they don't come online until 7am - Pacific Time - so it is only 5am there.... and I am 10 hours ahead of PST. I will try later to confirm that date.
