On January 7, 2026, attorney Alan Jackson announced his departure from the double-murder case during a news conference. Jackson, known for defending high-profile clients like Harvey Weinstein, cited ethical and legal constraints as the reason for his silence on the specific details of the move. Despite stepping down, Jackson made a bold statement: "What we've learned is that pursuant to the law of California, Nick Reiner is not guilty of murder."
