Nick Reiner’s former attorney, Alan Jackson, is standing by his belief that Reiner is not guilty, even after stepping away from the high profile murder case.
Jackson addressed his decision during a recent podcast interview, making it clear that his position has not changed. He said his public statement was meant to correct what he described as widespread misinformation and speculation surrounding the case.
According to Jackson, many people rushed to conclusions without understanding the legal facts. He explained that his goal was to set the record straight before withdrawing from the case.
Jackson said he fully believes what he stated publicly. Under California law, he maintains that Nick Reiner is not guilty. He added that it was important for the public to hear that directly from him before he stepped aside.
The attorney officially withdrew from representing Reiner on January 7.
During the podcast, host Billy Bush pressed Jackson for more details about why he left the case. However, Jackson refused to discuss specifics and emphasized attorney client confidentiality.
Jackson remained careful with his words and avoided offering new information.As the conversation continued, Bush suggested that Jackson appeared visibly conflicted and unhappy during the interview. He questioned whether something had gone wrong privately, including the possibility of a financial dispute.
Jackson quickly shut down that idea. He told Bush that it was unfair to suggest a problem with payment and said he had never made such a claim.
He acknowledged that something affected his team’s ability to continue representing Reiner but stressed that he would not allow speculation to fill the gap. Jackson said he has not spoken publicly about the reason and does not plan to.
When Bush pointed out that people will speculate regardless, Jackson responded that the reason for his withdrawal does not matter. What matters, he said, is the legal truth.
