Everyone's focused on what Alan Jackson said outside that courthouse. But here's what they're missing: what's inside the courthouse that nobody's allowed to see. A sealed medical order. Ten subpoenas the prosecution can't access. Psychiatric evaluations conducted behind closed doors. And one of America's most accomplished defense attorneys telling reporters Nick Reiner is "not guilty of murder"—then walking away from the case entirely.

Jackson told the judge he's "legally and ethically prohibited" from explaining his withdrawal. Fine. But that raises more questions than it answers. What did he find between December 15th and January 7th that made him certain enough to stake his reputation on a public statement? If he's so confident in this defense, why isn't he the one making it?

Nick Reiner faces two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances for the deaths of his mother Michele Reiner and her partner. Sources confirm Nick was being treated for schizophrenia at the time. He appeared at his first hearing in a suicide prevention smock. Reports indicate his medications still aren't stabilized. DA Nathan Hochman hasn't ruled out the death penalty.

Attorney Eric Faddis examines every legal angle—the competency questions, the insanity defense signals, and how that gas station surveillance footage cuts both ways depending on who's presenting it. Deputy Public Defender Kimberly Greene takes over representation. The arraignment is February 23rd.

Jackson can't tell us what he saw. But the evidence doesn't disappear because he's off the case. Something significant is sealed in that courtroom—and the question is what California is keeping hidden before this trial begins.
