Episode Details

Nick Reiner faces a high-stakes court battle as his murder trial looms — accused of killing his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner — while simultaneously fighting to access a family trust fund to pay for his defense. Under California’s slayer statute, he can’t inherit from someone he killed, but he insists he’s innocent and never waived his right to the funds. The trustee claims his mother’s wishes bar him from using the money, but Reiner argues the trust was designed to hold funds until he claimed them — and that he was never informed about the $585K available at age 30. This legal tug-of-war over inheritance could shape both his defense and his fate.
