NICK REINER TRUST FUND UPDATE: The trustee managing the estate of Nick Reiner is reportedly moving to unlock the funds he needs to secure a private defense attorney. Trustee Jodi Montgomery plans to file court documents next week asking a judge to approve Reiner’s petition to access his inheritance.
