Family is not paying for Nick’s representation.

Turns out being broke is a bigger no no than murdering your parents lol

Jackson doesn’t take on cases he can’t win. This is unwinnable.

He found out he’s not getting any $ from the families estate and peaced. Typical lawyer.

This guy is the scum of the earth. Sleaziest high profile lawyer in the game right now.

Can’t try a case from the Chatahootchie

My guess is he will eventually plead guilty in exchange for life imprisonment.

Alan realized they had philosophical differences when Nick rocked the jukebox after Alan specifically told him to not do that.

He had standing commitments way down yonder, on the Chattahoochee.

i always wondered how/why lawyers would defend cases like this

I’m dumb, when I first read this headline I thought “Alan Jackson has really pivoted his career from the old Chatahoochee days”

He can’t win this case on an insanity defense.
So sad for everyone involved.

Follow the money. Nick Reiner has none. Once Jackson knew that for sure, he bailed.

He said Nick is not guilty???!! Ummmmm….

He’s got more country songs to write!

Seems like a question of money to me. His siblings don’t want to pay for his defense which is reasonable.

I’ve been very curious about Nick’s ability to pay for an attorney and was initially surprised a bigwig was doing it. I don’t think it’s as simple as someone well known like Alan stepping up and thinking he’d get a good payday only to find out otherwise—any person with basic thinking skills would know the nature of this murder means the family may not want to financially support Nick. I think the options are:
1) Alan was hired by family or friend of family for the initial aftermath to handle initial legal logistics, ensure Nick gets properly incarcerated and help with prelim assessment of the case. Ie, always a temp hire while siblings dealt with the initial shock and assessment of their parents’ finances.
2) Alan was hired to potentially fully represent Nick from Nick’s portion of the estate but now that the siblings know more about Nick’s state of mind and have the full details re: how their parents set up their estate and learned about the slayer rule, they’ve realized none of the estate was set up to cover Nick’s legal costs in this situation and said f*ck this, we’re not paying for his lawyer.
3) Alan was hired to fully represent Nick and Nick is not accepting the help and demanded he be fired.

If he was on Abilify, then it was 100% because he was on Abilify and it made him crazy. I’ll die on this hill.

WTH?? “Nick Reiner is NOT guilty of murder“ he says, ‚PRINT THAT‘ and then leaves. Wth did we just watch? Is Jackson jusy twisting it (a master narrative manipulator) because he knows it’s unwinnable and doesn’t want to look like he’s pre-emptively lost? Baffling.

This could have nothing to do with money. I don’t think the lawyer can knowingly offer false evidence to the Court. So if Nick stupidly confessed to the lawyer, that it was intentional and not insanity, like he did it for the money and not because he momentarily thought his parents were demons, the lawyer would have to withdraw to give him the best shot of not being found guilty.

So after his country music career ended, he went into law? That’s cool. It must be stressful because it changed the entire way he looks.
GriddleUp on
Here’s my crazy theory: They were going to blame this on the doctor(s) who changed Nick’s psych meds. But one of those doctors is related to someone at Jackson’s firm. (He has partners, he’s not a solo practitioner).
