A courtroom sketch shows Nick Reiner looking emotional with a newly shaved head during his arraignment
Nick Reiner had a newly shaved head while appearing in court for his arraignment on murder charges regarding the deaths of parents Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner.
A court room sketch showed Nick, 32, wearing a khaki jumpsuit to the Los Angeles arraignment on Wednesday, January 7, with his hands remaining cuffed through the hearing. Nick reportedly appeared on the verge of tears during the appearance.
Nick’s arraignment was postponed in light of his former attorney, Alan Jackson, stepping down from the case. Nick will now be represented by Kimberly Greene, a criminal defense attorney with the Los Angeles County Office of the Public Defender.
“I’m legally and I’m ethically prohibited from explaining all the reasons why, I know that’s a question on everyone’s mind,” Jackson told reporters on Wednesday after announcing he would no longer be representing Nick. “We expect the public defender to step in, they’ve already been appointed and very carefully protect Nick Reiner’s interests as he moves forward through the system.”
Jackson shared that he remained “deeply committed” to Nick’s “best interests” moving forward.
