Yep. I said this in the old thread when people tried to argue that his siblings still loved their troubled brother anyway and would stand by him. Doesn't look like it.

Stand by him?

Why? So he can knife them in their sleep some night after a tiff at a holiday party or when they try to cut off his $$$ recreational drugs?

Yeah, hostage to an addict sounds like a great future.

All of this.

Lawyer got greedy.

Mr green is dysfunctional, an addict, unfixable, a danger to society.

Family ain’t going to pay $ millions to defend a delinquent who knifed his parents to death.

If it wasn’t money another lawyer would have taken the case but it went to a public defender.

I bet he called them. He does high profile cases. He offered his services, and then--as others have suggested--when it became clear the estate money wasn't going to be available, he bowed out.

Nick doesn't have his own money and cannot inherit anything from his parents' estate because he is accused of killing them. He has no money.

I wonder who made the call to Alan Jackson to begin with.

Interesting thought.

He doesn't deserve the Dream Team. The public defender is good enough. It's all many others get.

Maybe. But idk. It’s curious

This is what the NYT article OP shared hypothesized. Lawyers for an expensive case like this can drain an estate fast.

Given his mental health issues he could have done something to cause the lawyer to be conflicted out. It's not uncommon for mentally ill defendants to be aggressive to or to assault their lawyers.

Isn't this the criminal defense attorney whose ads claim that he only represents the innocent ?

After all they've been through, and they've probably been angry at their parents for years for coddling him and giving him excess attention. Now that they are the decision makers, and dealing with the loss of their parents, they're going to do everything they can to stop the dynamic from repeating.

Money.

The lawyer's statement was very carefully worded about Nick being not guilty.

I think his siblings know he's guilty and refuse to fund his defense.
