Summary

Sources say Nick Reiner believes he’s the victim of a "conspiracy" after killing his parents.

It is clear that Reiner knows he killed his parents, but doesn’t understand why he’s in jail. Reiner, delusional, thinks the people who put him there are "conspiring against him."

Sources close to the legal proceedings claim it’s likely Reiner will plead not guilty by reason of insanity, placing
the blame on unbalanced schizophrenia meds.

Now, claims are being made that a change in medication may have led Reiner to murder his parents. Reiner reported complaining to his doctors that his meds had caused him to gain weight.

Changes were made, and some are saying the new medication allegedly caused him to become increasingly "erratic," "dangerous," and isolated, marking a total physical and mental decline.
