[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Nick Reiner was expected to enter a plea in this LA courtroom this morning. He did not. Instead, legal drama as his defense counsel withdrew. Reiner is charged two counts first degree murder for allegedly stabbing his parents to death in the master bedroom area of their home here in Los Angeles. The defense counsel withdrew. He said legally, ethically he is not allowed to say why. At one point I saw him introducing the public counsel to Reiner who sat in the courtroom behind glass wearing brown prison overalls over a white t-shirt, hair closely cropped, speaking calmly with his defense team. At one point he cracked a slight smile when he was speaking with a court employee. Reiner is now due back in court February 23rd. Now, his outgoing attorney said, take this to the bank. Nick Reiner is not guilty of murder. Print that. The LA district attorney disagrees. He said a jury will find him unanimously guilty of murder. Next court date, February 23rd.
