Sources speaking to British journalist Rob Shuter via #ShuterScoop said the family has fully cut Nick off, both financially and emotionally.

“Nick Reiner doesn’t have the money. If he did, he wouldn’t be living in his parents’ guesthouse,” former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told the New York Post. “And under the California Slayer Statue, you kill your parents — you’re disinherited.”

How the California Slayer Statue Impacts Legal Expenses

The California Slayer Statue prevents individuals from inheriting from victims they are accused—or convicted—of killing. In Reiner’s case, this statute effectively blocks access to any family wealth that might have been used to cover mounting legal expenses.

That reality appears to have collided with the staggering cost of Jackson’s representation. Legal analysts estimate Jackson’s retainer alone could reach seven figures.
