Nick Reiner did not enter a plea after being charged with the murders of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner. Nick, 32, appeared in court for his arraignment on Wednesday, January 7, but it has been put on pause. During the hearing, Alan Jackson - who previously represented Karen Read - announced that he would be stepping down from the case. "We feel we have no choice at this juncture but to withdraw as council. I asked to be relieved," Jackson stated, noting that a public defender will be appointed going forward.
