Overview
- A disciplinary report says Reiner became “extremely hostile” while waiting to be escorted back to his cell after a shower on April 27, prompting a deputy to call three additional guards though the disturbance did not turn physical.
- Officials documented the incident with a write-up and imposed five days of sanctions that reportedly removed his phone calls, visitation and commissary privileges.
- Multiple outlets report that Reiner is housed alone in a high-security medical observation unit at Twin Towers and that his access and routine are tightly restricted, with a July report saying he had a personal visit with a lawyer and a relative on July 27.
- Court records show Reiner waived the 30-day preliminary period in April and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on September 15 where prosecutors will present evidence that could lead to formal felony charges carrying life or death exposure.
- The accounts of his behavior and rapid physical or mental decline rely largely on unnamed insiders and family sources and have not been confirmed by jail or medical officials, which could affect how defense teams and the court weigh his condition and access to counsel.
