The Breakdown 100

  • In a shocking turn of events, Nick Reiner has been charged with the brutal first-degree murder of his parents, acclaimed filmmaker Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner, whose lifeless bodies were discovered in their Los Angeles home in December 2025.
  • High-profile attorney Alan Jackson represented Nick but abruptly withdrew from the case just before a crucial arraignment, citing "circumstances beyond our control," while simultaneously asserting his former client's innocence.
  • The sudden departure of Jackson has sparked media speculation, with many suggesting financial issues may have played a role in the attorney's exit from such a notable case.
  • Now represented by public defender Kimberly Greene, Reiner's arraignment has been pushed to late February, allowing time for a complete transition in legal representation.
  • Highlights of the case reveal profound mental health concerns, with indications that Reiner’s struggles with schizoaffective disorder intensified leading up to the tragic events—a factor that may significantly influence his defense.
  • As the legal battle unfolds, public interest continues to grow not only due to the Reiner family’s fame but also because of compelling discussions surrounding mental health, fame, and the justice system.
