Episode Details

Defense attorney Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers LIVE to analyze the legal strategy ahead for Nick Reiner following Alan Jackson's surprise withdrawal from the case. We're taking your questions and breaking down what the defense must prove to avoid a murder conviction.

TMZ's documentary revealed critical details: Nick reportedly admits killing his parents but believes his incarceration is a conspiracy. His medication for schizoaffective disorder was changed one month before the murders after he complained about weight gain. Sources say he's currently not competent to stand trial.

Bob explains the distinction between competency and insanity, what California's "nature and quality" standard actually requires, and how the Carmichael precedent could shape Nick's defense. We'll examine Alan Jackson's exit and what it signals about client-attorney conflicts, the missing murder weapon, Nick's 24-hour post-offense navigation of Los Angeles, and whether his siblings' reported opposition to the death penalty will influence the DA's decision on capital charges.

Join us live with your questions. What do you think the defense strategy should be? Does the medication angle create reasonable doubt—or just an excuse? Call in and let's discuss.
