Defense Attorney Bob Motta on Sarah Grace Patrick Trial Delay + Reiner Murders System Failure | Your Questions Answered

Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description

Defense attorney Bob Motta joins us live to break down two cases dominating headlines — the Sarah Grace Patrick trial delay in Georgia and the Reiner murders in California — and take your questions in real time.

Sarah Grace Patrick, 17, is charged as an adult with murdering her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock in Carroll County, Georgia. The trial was set for January 5th, 2026. It didn't happen. Prosecutors requested more time to respond to a defense neuropsychologist's evaluation, and Judge Dustin Hightower pushed the case to August 3rd, 2026. The defense's earlier continuance motion was denied. When the state needed time, they got seven months.

Bob Motta examines what this signals about the prosecution's case. No murder weapon has been produced. No forensic evidence linking Sarah to the killings has been publicly disclosed. No firearm was found at the scene. Claims about disabled cameras remain unproven allegations. The Carroll County Sheriff's Office announced they had "mountains of evidence" — but the state couldn't go to trial.

Then we turn to the Reiner case. Nick Reiner is accused of killing his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, in Brentwood. This is the fifth alleged patricide in Southern California in recent weeks. Police had responded to the home multiple times over the years. Nick had cycled through seventeen rehab programs. His father reportedly told friends the night before that he was "petrified" of him. California's mental health laws made meaningful intervention nearly impossible. We discuss what families can actually do when warning signs are everywhere and the system offers no options.
