Nick Reiner’s arraignment has been postponed until Feb. 23, while a public defender takes over his case. The Los Angeles County district attorney charged him two days later. His attorneys spoke to the judge briefly and intermittently conferred with Reiner before Jackson announced his withdrawal from the case. Los Angeles County Public Defender Ricardo García appeared with Nick Reiner’s new attorney, Kimberly Greene, at a news conference after the hearing. He said they had learned only Tuesday night their office would be taking over Reiner’s case.
