Alan Jackson Prioritizes Nick Reiner’s Well-being

attorney Alan Jackson reiterated his⁤ support for Nick Reiner, despite withdrawing from the widely-reported murder case just last week.

during a Tuesday appearance on “Let’s Talk Off Camera,” ⁢Jackson, a high-profile criminal defense attorney who has defended the likes of Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein, touched ⁤on his exit from the Reiner⁢ case, ⁤telling host Kelly Ripa that there ⁢wasn’t much he could divulge due to “ethical obligations.”

“Everybody’s⁢ got that same looming question,” Jackson said after Ripa asked for insight into his departure. “Because of legal standards and⁣ ethical obligations, there’s certain⁣ things I simply can’t divulge, Kelly. In terms⁢ of why there was a change in council, why we stepped away⁤ and [why] ‍the public defender’s office stepped in.”

However, Jackson made it clear he was still very much⁢ in Rob⁢ reiner’s son’s corner as the latter awaits trial.

“I ⁢will reiterate what I ⁣said in the press⁢ conference, which ‍is my team, me personally⁢ and my team, remain ⁤wholly and utterly committed to Nick’s best interests,” Jackson added. “We always will be committed to his best ⁢interest. I want nothing but the best for him and I want him to get the most robust defense that he possibly can get. And I no he will in the hands of the public defender’s office.”

Jackson’s comments come almost a week after he abruptly withdrew from Reiner’s double-murder case,in which the “Being Charlie”⁣ screenwriter has been accused ⁣of killing parents Rob and Michele Reiner in their Brentwood home on Dec.14.

After turning the case over to the Public Defender’s office, jackson told reporters outside the courtroom that he felt confident that⁢ his now-former client was not guilty of murder.

“in fact, we know, we’re not just convinced, we know that the legal process will reveal the true facts ‍of the circumstances surrounding Nick’s case,” he said at the time. “What we’ve ⁤learned, and you can take this to the bank, is that, pursuant to the law in California, Nick ⁤Reiner is not guilty ⁣of murder.”
