The family of Nick Reiner fears his private medical history will be revealed during his upcoming trial, sources close to the family say.
According to insiders who speak to ShutterScoop column, the family worked for years to shield Nick’s mental health issues from the public.
“They’ve worked so hard to keep these issues private; no one knew about them,” a source claimed.
The potential release of sensitive records in court is described as a looming “heavy emotional blow.”
Recent accounts have emerged of Nick, 24, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia years ago and had been in and out of rehab facilities several times.
A mental health conservatoire in 2022 has also been announced.
Speculation from sources cited in an article by People magazine indicates a possible change in his medication led to “erratic and dangerous” actions prior to the alleged crimes.
Another insider quoted: “This is not just a legal case, it’s a family tragedy.”
The family are said to be “deeply concerned for Nick’s welfare, even as they mourn his alleged victims, fearful of a painful and public dissection of their private struggles in the pursuit of justice.”
