Alan Jackson<\/a>, who was Karen Read<\/a>‘s defense attorney in both of her trials, is now representing Nick Reiner<\/a>, who was formally charged with murder<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old has yet to be arraigned.<\/p>\n

Jackson confirmed Tuesday that he has been retained as the 32-year-old Reiner’s defense counsel. He has represented a number of\u00a0high-profile clients<\/a>, including acting as lead defense attorney for\u00a0Read in her murder trials. She was ultimately acquitted at her second trial in June.<\/p>\n

Jackson also represented Kevin Spacey in a 2019 indecent assault and battery case out of Nantucket. The actor was accused of groping an 18-year-old busboy at a local bar, but the charges were later dropped.<\/p>\n

And he was once part of the legal team for movie producer Harvey Weinstein, who was found guilty of rape and other charges and sentenced to 16 years in prison.<\/p>\n

Right now, Jackson is also representing Fraser Michael Bohm<\/a>, who is accused of killing four Pepperdine University sorority sisters when he crashed into three parked vehicles in Malibu in 2023.<\/p>\n

Jackson spoke with reporters outside of court in Los Angeles on Tuesday about when Nick Reiner is expected to make his first appearance in front of a judge.<\/p>\n

“We’ll be back day today,” Alan Jackson said Monday. “The bailiff has indicated\u00a0 that the sheriff’s department has indicated that we’ll take it on a day by day basis.”<\/p>\n

“Every single inmate goes through a medical clearance before than can be transported to court. Every one of them and that’s a process and he’s not yet been medically cleared.”<\/p>\n

Jackson wouldn’t say what specific medical issue was preventing his client from being cleared. <\/p>\n

Reiner had a history of battling addiction and was in and out of rehab for years.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Reiner was charged with two counts of first-degree murder<\/a>, accused of stabbing his parents — famed director and actor Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner.<\/p>\n

Sources tell NBC News that earlier that night, Nick Reiner was being disruptive at a holiday party held by Massachusetts native Conan O’Brien.<\/p>\n

Reiner was arrested on Monday. Court records say that he could be arraigned as early as Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
