And we thought maybe some breadcrumbs were being put out there for an insanity defense.
Um,
But he, this lawyer came out after stepping down, said to reporters outside that Nick Reiner is not guilty of these charges.
What does he mean by that?
There have been a lot of reports that have been leaked out about Nick Reiner's diagnosed or schizophrenia diagnosis that happened within the last couple of years that he was on medication, that his medication had just been adjusted or changed in the weeks leading up to the deaths of his parents.
And so it seemed as though with these probably...
specifically positioned leaks of information, they were setting up the possibility of, yes, some sort of an insanity defense that he was off his meds, that he is schizophrenic, that he did not know what he was doing.

Yeah.
