You asked, we're answering. The Nick Reiner case has generated more questions than almost any story we've covered — and we're dedicating this episode to working through them. Why did Alan Jackson quit two weeks before arraignment? What really happened at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party the night before the murders? How do you reconcile the son who made "Being Charlie" with his father with the man allegedly charged with stabbing his parents to death? We're examining the schizophrenia diagnosis and what it means for a potential insanity defense, the TMZ report about the blood-soaked hotel room, and whether fleeing and attempting to clean up undermines claims of psychosis. Rob Reiner once said tough love wasn't his nature — that he had to "act" like a disciplinarian. Michele said she regretted believing rehab counselors who called Nick manipulative instead of listening to her own son. Seventeen rehab stints, a conservatorship in the works, and still this happened. We're also talking about Jake and Romy, who lost their parents and brother in one night, and the impossible position they're in as this case heads to trial. No easy answers — just honest conversation about a tragedy that could have gone differently at a hundred different points.
