One of the very best parts of hosting the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast is reconnecting with longtime listeners and friends — and this week's episode is a perfect example of why. In Episode 652, I'm joined by one of our favorite returning Geeks and longtime friend of the show, Bill Carmichael, for a thoughtful, honest, and refreshingly old-school Disney trip report. Bill recently took a short Thanksgiving getaway to Walt Disney World with his family, and what makes this conversation special isn't just what they did — it's how they approached the trip. Fewer park days, more intention, and a real focus on enjoying the moments instead of rushing through a checklist. This episode is a great reminder that Disney magic doesn't always come from doing more — sometimes it comes from slowing down.

David Carmichael crushed sleeping pills into his 11-year-old son's orange juice, waited for the drugs to take effect, and strangled him to death. He'd researched murder charges online. He expected 25 years in prison. He planned the whole thing. The verdict? Not criminally responsible. He walked out of a psychiatric facility after about two years.Could the same legal standard save Nick Reiner?Under the M'Naghten rule used in California, insanity doesn't require proving you didn't know right from wrong. The second prong asks whether you understood the "nature and quality" of your actions. Carmichael knew killing was illegal — but in his psychotic state, triggered by the SSRI Paxil, he believed his healthy son was suffering. He thought he was performing mercy. The delusion changed what he believed he was doing.Nick Reiner's medication for schizoaffective disorder was reportedly changed one month before the killings because he complained about weight gain. Sources say it "messed him up profoundly." Now he reportedly admits to killing his parents but believes his incarceration is a conspiracy against him.Same legal standard. Same medication trigger argument. Different history.Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke examines the behavioral patterns. Carmichael had no history of manipulation. Nick has 30 years of it. His father said experts repeatedly warned the family Nick was "lying or manipulating them." Carmichael didn't flee.

Nick Reiner reportedly admits to killing his parents. That alone should end the conversation. But it doesn't — because what he says next reframes the entire case. Instead of focusing on the act, he reportedly describes his incarceration as a "conspiracy." And that single shift raises questions that can't be ignored.Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — breaks down the behavioral patterns emerging from publicly reported information in this case. This isn't about diagnosing mental illness or debating sympathy. It's about how people behave when consequences arrive.A critical focus is what reportedly happened after the killings. According to reports, there was calm movement, time, decision-making, and navigation — not immediate collapse. Nick reportedly checked into a hotel and moved through LA for 24 hours. Robin explains why analysts pay close attention to this phase, and why serious mental illness does not automatically eliminate awareness, planning, or accountability.The defense will likely invoke the M'Naghten rule — the same standard that freed David Carmichael, a father who planned his son's murder but was found not criminally responsible because a psychotic delusion changed what he believed he was doing. Carmichael's medication triggered his break. Nick's medication was changed one month before the killings.But Carmichael had no history of manipulation. Nick Reiner has 30 years of it. Experts repeatedly told the Reiner family he was "lying or manipulating them." More than 18 treatment facilities cashed checks and released him after 30 days.Robin explains how families don't ignore warning signs — they adapt to them. When instability lasts for years, chaos becomes routine. Intervention fatigue sets in. Boundaries soften. And that adaptation can quietly become dangerous.This episode doesn't ask for sympathy. It asks harder questions — about behavior, responsibility, and why words that redirect blame deserve scrutiny.#NickReiner #RobinDreeke #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #FBI #BehaviorAnalysis #InsanityDefense #DavidCarmichael #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens after the act matters. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke says analysts pay close attention to post-offense behavior — and in the Nick Reiner case, the reported timeline raises serious questions.According to reports, Nick didn't collapse. He checked into a Santa Monica hotel. He navigated Los Angeles for 24 hours. There was calm movement, time, decision-making. Robin explains why serious mental illness does not automatically eliminate awareness, planning, or accountability.Nick reportedly admits to killing his parents Rob and Michele Reiner. But instead of focusing on the act, he describes his incarceration as a "conspiracy." That reframe is exactly what behavioral analysts examine — how people respond when consequences finally arrive.The defense will likely point to the M'Naghten rule, which doesn't require proving Nick didn't know right from wrong — only that he didn't understand the "nature and quality" of his actions. It's the same standard that freed David Carmichael, a father who researched murder charges, planned his son's killing, and still walked out of a psychiatric facility after two years. Carmichael's psychotic break was triggered by medication. Nick's medication was changed one month before the killings.But there's a critical difference. Carmichael had no history of manipulation. Nick Reiner has 30 years of it. His own father said experts repeatedly warned the family Nick was "lying or manipulating them." More than 18 treatment facilities cycled him through 30-day stays that satisfied the system without producing change.Robin explains how families normalize chaos over time. They don't ignore warning signs — they adapt to them. Boundaries soften. Intervention fatigue sets in. And that adaptation can become dangerous.The defense exists. The question is whether a jury will believe it from someone who's spent a lifetime ensuring no one should.#NickReiner #RobinDreeke #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #InsanityDefense #DavidCarmichael #FBI #HiddenKillers #BehaviorAnalysis #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The legal battle over Nick Reiner's fate will likely come down to a test created in 1843 after a delusional man shot the wrong person on a London street. The M'Naghten Rule has been used for more than 180 years to determine when mental illness excuses murder. It's about to be applied to the man charged with killing Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner in their Brentwood home.Here's how the rule works: Two prongs, only one required. Prong one—you didn't understand the nature and quality of the act. Prong two—you didn't know it was wrong. Most defendants can't use prong two if they fled, hid evidence, or showed awareness of wrongdoing. Nick Reiner reportedly checked into a hotel after the alleged killings and spent more than 24 hours navigating Los Angeles. That behavior likely kills prong two for him.Which leaves prong one: nature and quality. This is exactly what worked for David Carmichael, a Canadian father who killed his 11-year-old son in 2004. Carmichael planned the murder, researched prison sentences, expected 25 years. But his delusion—triggered by the SSRI Paxil—made him believe his son was suffering, brain-damaged, and dangerous. He didn't understand the true reality of what he was doing. He walked free in roughly two years.Nick Reiner's medication for schizoaffective disorder was reportedly changed approximately one month before the alleged murders. His meds still aren't stabilized. He reportedly still believes his incarceration is a conspiracy. But does that mean his perception was distorted during the act itself? That's the question the defense must answer—and the question that will determine whether a rule from 1843 sets him free.#NickReiner #RobReiner #TrueCrimeToday #InsanityDefense #MNaghtenRule #BrentwoodMurders #CriminalJustice #MentalHealth #DavidCarmichael #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

True Crime Today brings you the defense perspective on two of the biggest murder trials happening right now. Defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down Nick Reiner's insanity defense strategy and exposes where the Brendan Banfield prosecution is bleeding.Nick Reiner's attorney quit. Alan Jackson walked out with 10 outstanding subpoenas, citing disagreements with his client. Nick is now represented by a public defender, reportedly not competent to stand trial, and facing a prosecutor who handled the Menendez resentencing and Robert Durst case. Bob explains what Jackson's exit signals about the defense's internal conflicts and how the defense rebuilds from here. California's insanity standard doesn't require proving Nick didn't know right from wrong — only that he didn't understand the "nature and quality" of his actions. The Carmichael precedent could be key. But Nick's post-offense behavior creates problems. Checking into a hotel. Buying a drink at a gas station. Navigating LA for 24 hours. Bob explains how prosecutors will use that functionality against any insanity claim.Then we turn to Brendan Banfield. The prosecution's own forensics expert contradicted their catfishing theory — and was transferred out of the unit. The lead detective was reassigned. The prosecutor was removed after being cited for drinking at 8 a.m. Twelve homicide detectives had 24 different theories before the au pair flipped. Bob explains how you build reasonable doubt from that wreckage.Juliana Peres Magalhaes is the prosecution's entire case. She lied for a year. Then she got a deal: manslaughter, time served, go home to Brazil. Her sentencing is after Banfield's trial to ensure cooperation. From jail, she wrote she was "heartbroken" for what she was doing to Brendan. Bob explains how to destroy her credibility and what the prosecution has left if she falls apart.#TrueCrimeToday #BobMotta #NickReiner #BrendanBanfield #DefenseAttorney #InsanityDefense #ReasonableDoubt #StarWitness #CrossExamination #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In 2004, David Carmichael crushed sleeping pills into his 11-year-old son's orange juice and strangled him to death. He planned it. He researched murder sentences. He expected prison. Two years later, he walked free. The reason? A legal test written in 1843 called the M'Naghten Rule—the same test that will likely determine Nick Reiner's fate.Nick Reiner is charged with murdering his parents, director Rob Reiner and philanthropist Michele Singer Reiner, in their Brentwood home. He reportedly admits to the killings but believes his incarceration is a conspiracy against him. His medication for schizoaffective disorder was changed approximately one month before the alleged murders. His defense attorney just withdrew from the case. He's now represented by a public defender.The M'Naghten Rule asks two questions: Did the defendant understand the nature and quality of the act? Did they know it was wrong? You only need to fail one test. Carmichael couldn't claim he didn't know killing was wrong—he planned for prison. But he succeeded on nature and quality because his delusion changed what he believed he was doing. He thought he was ending his son's suffering, not murdering a healthy child.Nick Reiner's post-offense behavior—checking into a hotel, navigating Los Angeles for 24 hours—suggests he knew something was wrong. That kills prong two. But can he argue his perception was so distorted he didn't understand the true nature of the act? That's the question. And the answer depends on what delusion, if any, distorted his reality that night.A rule from 1843 is about to collide with modern psychiatry. The outcome will determine whether Nick Reiner faces death row or a psychiatric facility.#NickReiner #RobReiner #InsanityDefense #MNaghtenRule #DavidCarmichael #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #BrentwoodMurders #MentalHealth #CriminalJusticeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two murder cases. Two very different defense strategies. One attorney who knows how to find the cracks.Defense attorney Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers for a comprehensive breakdown of Nick Reiner's path to avoiding prison and the prosecution's mounting problems in the Brendan Banfield case. This is the defense perspective on two of the biggest trials in true crime right now.Alan Jackson walked out of the Nick Reiner case with 10 outstanding subpoenas. Nick is now represented by a public defender, reportedly not competent to stand trial, and facing a prosecutor who handled the Menendez resentencing and Robert Durst case. Bob breaks down the critical distinction between competency to stand trial and legal insanity at the time of the crime. California's standard doesn't require proving Nick didn't know right from wrong — only that he didn't understand the "nature and quality" of his actions. The Carmichael precedent could be key. But Nick's post-offense behavior — checking into a hotel, buying a drink at a gas station, navigating LA for 24 hours — creates problems. Bob explains how prosecutors will use that functionality against any insanity claim and what the defense must do to counter it.Then we turn to Brendan Banfield, where the prosecution's case is bleeding from multiple wounds. Their own forensics expert contradicted their catfishing theory and was transferred. The lead detective was reassigned. The original prosecutor was removed. Twelve homicide detectives had 24 different theories before the au pair flipped. Bob explains how you build reasonable doubt from investigative chaos — and how you make a jury see it.The star witness is the prosecution's entire case. Juliana Peres Magalhaes spent a year telling police the same story Brendan did. Then she got a deal: manslaughter, time served, deportation to Brazil. Her sentencing is after Banfield's trial to keep her cooperating. From jail, she wrote that she was "heartbroken" for what she was doing to Brendan. Bob explains how you frame a year-long lie for the jury, how you weaponize that letter on cross, and what happens if she falls apart on the stand.#HiddenKillers #BobMotta #NickReiner #BrendanBanfield #DefenseAttorney #InsanityDefense #ReasonableDoubt #StarWitness #CrossExamination #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

David Carmichael strangled his 11-year-old son to death in 2004 after planning the killing, researching murder charges, and expecting decades in prison. The verdict? Not criminally responsible. He walked out of a psychiatric facility after about two years. The reason he's free today could be the same reason Nick Reiner avoids the death penalty—if anyone believes him.The TMZ documentary on the Reiner murders explicitly cited the legal standard that saved Carmichael. Under the M'Naghten rule used in California, the insanity defense doesn't require proving you didn't know right from wrong. It only requires proving you didn't understand the "nature and quality" of your actions. Carmichael knew killing was illegal—but in his psychotic state triggered by Paxil, he believed he was saving his son from suffering. The delusion changed what he thought he was doing.Nick Reiner's schizoaffective disorder medication was reportedly changed one month before the alleged murders after he complained about weight gain. Sources say the change destabilized him profoundly. He now reportedly admits killing his parents but believes his incarceration is a conspiracy against him. Same framework. Same legal standard.But the differences matter. Carmichael had no history of manipulation—Nick has 30 years of it. Carmichael didn't flee—Nick reportedly checked into a hotel and navigated LA for over 24 hours. The defense that freed Carmichael requires credibility. After a lifetime of gaming every system he's encountered, does Nick Reiner have any left?#NickReiner #RobReiner #DavidCarmichael #InsanityDefense #TrueCrimeToday #ReinerMurders #MNaghten #CaliforniaLaw #MentalHealth #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Defense attorney Bob Motta reacts to Nick Reiner's reported behavior after the alleged murders of Rob and Michele Reiner—and explains why it creates serious problems for an insanity defense.Sources say Nick checked into the Pierside hotel in Santa Monica after what allegedly occurred, then spent over 24 hours navigating Los Angeles before being found near USC. He reportedly bought a drink at a gas station. The defense will argue Nick didn't understand the "nature and quality" of his actions due to a psychotic break triggered by a medication change. But Bob explains how prosecutors will use that extended, functional post-offense behavior to argue Nick had presence of mind—and what the defense must do to counter it.California's insanity standard is more favorable to defendants than many states, but juries are skeptical. Bob breaks down the legal burden, the Carmichael precedent, and why the next few months of psychiatric evaluation will determine whether Nick Reiner spends his life in prison or a mental health facility.This clip is from a full interview available on Hidden Killers.
