REINER FAMILY BREAKS SILENCE; BRAND CONFESSES ON A PODCAST; DAVID BURKE’S PHONE HELD CHILD PORN
The Hollywood murder case’s silent survivors finally speak, a British defendant tries his case on YouTube, and forty terabytes of digital evidence are still being sorted.
Garret Fisher walks through three cases with court dates this week. Jake Reiner, the eldest son of the murdered Rob and Michele Reiner, has broken a four-month silence in a devastating Substack essay days before his brother Nick returns to court for a discovery hearing. Russell Brand, six months out from his October rape trial in London, sat down with Megyn Kelly and admitted to “exploitative” sex with a sixteen-year-old when he was thirty — a framing worth sitting with. And David Anthony Burke, the singer known as D‑four‑V‑D, is back in court this week after prosecutors revealed his phone held “significant” amounts of child pornography.

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.480
Kalaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Garrett Fisher. This is
2
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:15.359
Daily Crime and Justice for Tuesday, April twenty eight. Three
3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.600
cases with court dates ahead of us this week. On Wednesday,
4
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.640
Nick Reiner, thirty two years old, is back in a
5
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.640
Los Angeles courtroom for a discovery hearing in the murder
6
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.399
of his parents, Rob and Michelle Reiner. Discovery is the
7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.960
stage where prosecutors lay out in writing what evidence they
8
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.240
plan to bring to trial, and this weekend, for the
9
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.280
first time since the killings last December, someone in that
10
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:43.960
family spoke publicly. His older brother, Jake thirty four, broke
11
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.960
a four month silence on Friday with a substack essay
12
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.240
titled Mom and Dad. If you haven't read it yet,
13
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:54.560
you probably should not read it alone. Also Wednesday, David
14
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.520
Anthony Burke is in court for an evident status hearing
15
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.640
in the murder of fourteen year old Celeste revas her Nandez.
16
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.680
That hearing is a check in before Friday's preliminary hearing,
17
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.120
which is the real one, and we now know part
18
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.159
of why the evidence is moving so slowly. Prosecutors announced
19
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.719
last Thursday that David's phone and his iCloud account held,
20
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:19.840
in their words, a significant amount of child pornography. Forty
21
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.280
terabytes of digital evidence altogether, about thirty percent of it
22
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.519
has been turned over to the defense so far and
23
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.719
in October. Not this week, but worth circling on your calendar.
24
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:34.879
Russell Brand fifty stands trial at Southwark Crown Court in
25
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.719
London on six charges of rape and sexual assault and
26
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:44.239
one of indecent assault. Six accusers, seven charges total. He
27
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.599
denies all of it, but last Wednesday he sat down
28
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.799
with Megan Kelly on her podcast and admitted that he had,
29
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.840
in his word, exploitative consensual sex with a sixteen year
30
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.799
old girl when he was thirty. He pointed out that
31
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.239
the age of consent in the UK is sixteen, so
32
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.560
the sex was legal. We're going to talk about what
33
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.240
that admission is and what it is not. I'm Garrett
34
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.199
Fisher today. A family asking to be remembered, a defendant
35
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.479
staging his own defense on YouTube, and a pending murder
36
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.840
case where the evidence keeps getting worse. This is daily
37
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:27.599
crime and Justice. Let's start with the Rhiners. You have
38
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.599
heard us cover this case since it broke in December.
39
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:35.240
Rob Reiner, seventy eight, one of the most beloved filmmakers
40
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.680
of our lifetime, The Princess Bride, stand by me when
41
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.680
Harry met Sally. A few good men misery. This is
42
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:48.280
spinal tap. His wife, Michelle Singer Reiner sixty eight, a
43
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:52.560
photographer and philanthropist married to Rob for thirty six years,
44
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.000
a co founder of the Fulfillment Fund, which helps first
45
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.960
generation and underprivileged students get to college. Both of them
46
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.639
some were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home
47
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.759
on December fourteenth of last year. The Los Angeles County
48
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.479
Medical Examiner ruled the cause as multiple sharp force injuries.
49
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.000
Their son, Nick, thirty two, was arrested at the scene.
50
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.439
He has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first
51
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:20.680
degree murder. He is being held without bail, and this Wednesday,
52
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.039
April twenty ninth, he is back in court for a
53
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.080
discovery hearing, the procedural step where prosecutors formally set out
54
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.080
the evidence they planned to take to trial. We covered
55
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.000
the arraignment chaos back in January, when his celebrity defense
56
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:37.159
attorney Alan Jackson withdrew without explanation and Nick was assigned
57
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:41.199
a public defender. We covered the TMZ documentary that reported
58
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.759
his Schitzo effective disorder medication had been changed about a
59
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.919
month before the killings. We have covered the argument he
60
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.439
allegedly had with his father at a holiday party the
61
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.039
night before the murders, a party that multiple outlets have
62
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:58.039
reported was hosted by Conan O'Brien. But there is something
63
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.479
we have never really covered because there was nothing to cover.
64
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.800
The family. Rob and Michelle had three children together. Jake
65
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.800
is the oldest, thirty four, Nick is the middle son
66
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.759
thirty two, Romy is the youngest twenty eight. Rob also
67
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.600
had a daughter from his first marriage, Tracy Reiner sixty one,
68
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.759
a working actress most people know from a league of
69
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:24.600
their own, and Apollo thirteen four children total. Three adult
70
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.319
siblings now trying to figure out how to survive the
71
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.399
worst thing that has ever happened to them, while the
72
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:33.079
fourth is sitting in a jail cell accused of causing it.
73
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.600
They have not said a word publicly for four months
74
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:42.639
until Friday Friday afternoon, April twenty fourth, Jake Reiner published
75
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.360
an essay on substack titled Simply Mom and Dad. It
76
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.879
is one of the rawest, saddest, most unembellished pieces of
77
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:52.519
writing I've read in a long time, and I want
78
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.240
to walk through it carefully because it does something that
79
00:04:55.399 --> 00:05:00.120
coverage of cases like this almost never does. It speaks
80
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.279
from inside the grief, not from outside it. Jake writes
81
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:08.040
that on the day it happened, December fourteenth, he was
82
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.680
at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. He was attending
83
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.240
a celebration of life for a close friend who had
84
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.199
just died, so he was already at a funeral when
85
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.319
his phone rang. It was his sister Romi, and she
86
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:22.839
was calling to tell him that their father was dead.
87
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.240
Minutes later, she called him back to tell him their
88
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.160
mother was also dead. Jake writes that the forty five
89
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.519
minute lyft ride from downtown to the west side of
90
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:37.000
Los Angeles was, in his word, unendurable. He writes that
91
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.759
his world had collapsed. He writes that he was in
92
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.240
a trance. The only thought his brain could hold was
93
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.079
that he needed to get home. He needed to get
94
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.000
to his sister, He needed to figure out what in
95
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.680
the world had just happened. And then somewhere later that
96
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:56.120
same day, he learned the second thing, that it was
97
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.720
his brother, that Nick had been arrested at the scene,
98
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.079
that the person who had allegedly done this to their
99
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:07.879
parents was family. Jake writes that what has made this
100
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.600
so impossible to process is not only losing both parents
101
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.319
at the same time, though that alone is beyond anything
102
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.319
most of us can imagine, but it is having your
103
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.560
brother at the center of it, He says, it is
104
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:23.480
almost too impossible to wrap your head around. He goes
105
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.000
on from there. He describes his mother, Michelle, as the engine,
106
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.959
the backbone, and the heart of the entire family. He
107
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.680
describes his father, Rob as the dad who took him
108
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:37.560
to Dodger games. He writes about watching musicals with his mom.
109
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.800
He writes about the love his parents had for each other,
110
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.959
thirty six years of marriage as the standard he grew
111
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.959
up measuring every other relationship against. And then he writes
112
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.160
a line that stopped me. He writes, paraphrasing that he
113
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.000
would trade every Dodger game, every Broadway show, every vacation
114
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.199
for just one more hour with them, just one more
115
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.000
hour to talk, just one more hour to say goodbye.
116
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.079
He does not name Nick in the essay, not once.
117
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:08.120
He refers to him only as my brother, which is
118
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.279
either the kindest or the loneliest way to talk about someone,
119
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.519
depending on how you read it. Probably both. He writes
120
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.680
that when you are not living through a tragedy the
121
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.279
specific way he and romy are, it is hard to
122
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.439
wrap your head around how horrific it has been. He
123
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.720
writes that other people can move forward or forget for
124
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.839
a moment, but for him and his sister, it is
125
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:35.519
every single day, every meeting, every conversation, every tear, every
126
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.560
movement of their lives, all of it still connected to
127
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.399
the fact that their parents were murdered and their brother
128
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.279
is the one accused of doing it. Look, here is
129
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.000
why I think this essay matters beyond just paying respect
130
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.839
to Jake and Romey, who deserve whatever respect we can
131
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.639
give them. We have a bad habit in true crime
132
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.360
coverage of treating the surviving family like stage dressing. They
133
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:00.680
show up at the sentencing, they read a victim in statement,
134
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.639
the cameras find them crying in the gallery, and then
135
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.959
we move on because the story we are actually following
136
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.680
is the trial, the defendant, the evidence, the verdict. But
137
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.240
the people who lose someone to murder do not move
138
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.720
on with the news cycle. They are still there after
139
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.560
the documentary airs, after the book is optioned, after the
140
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.319
true crime podcast wraps its season, they are still there
141
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:30.360
every morning trying to convince themselves it was not a dream.
142
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.080
Jake Reiner wrote that every morning he has to convince
143
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.559
himself that this is not a dream. Nobody was paying
144
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:40.120
attention to Romy on the night she found her parents.
145
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.399
Nobody was paying attention to Jake sitting in a lift
146
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.480
in a trance for forty five minutes. And nobody was
147
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:49.279
paying attention to Tracy, who lost her stepmother and her
148
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.159
father and has been dealing with it privately since December.
149
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.559
Now we are because Jake wrote it down. Wednesday, Nick
150
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.480
is back in court. The discovery hearing will show us
151
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.759
more of what prosecutors have assembled. The case has been
152
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:07.000
quiet since the February arraignment. Ten sealed subpoenas a public
153
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.080
defender now representing him. A trial date still on set.
154
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.200
We will be watching Wednesday closely. But before the legal
155
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.879
machinery turns over again, I wanted to take a minute
156
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.840
to center the people who lost the most, Rob Reiner,
157
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:27.039
Michelle Singer Reiner, and the three adult children they left behind, Jake, Romy, Tracy.
158
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:42.559
Someone has to say your name, welcome back. Let me
159
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:46.279
walk you through this carefully because it matters. Russell Brand
160
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:49.120
fifty years old, sat down last week for a podcast
161
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.840
interview with Megan Kelly. The episode was published last Wednesday,
162
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.080
April twenty second. In it, he was promoting a new book.
163
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.120
The title roughly is how to Become a Christian in
164
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:03.960
seven Days. That's the pitch. Russell Brand, former drug addict,
165
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:08.399
former sex addict, former Hollywood movie star, former BBC radio host,
166
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.759
former husband of Katy Perry, now a devout believer on
167
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.679
the American right wing podcast circuit teaching you how to
168
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:18.000
become a Christian. This is not just a book tour.
169
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.320
Russell Brand stands trial in London starting October twelfth on
170
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:27.240
seven charges, three of rape, three of sexual assault, one
171
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:32.559
of indecent assault. Six accusers. The alleged incident spanned from
172
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.759
nineteen ninety nine to two thousand and nine. He has
173
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.240
pleaded not guilty to every single charge. His trial had
174
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.519
been set to begin in June, it was pushed to
175
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.519
October because of a jury shortage over the summer holidays
176
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.679
in the UK, and once it begins it is expected
177
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.720
to last about two months. So here's a man six
178
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:55.200
months away from a multi accuser rape trial, going on
179
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:58.840
a major American podcast, and this is what he said.
180
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:02.440
He said, paraphrasing, that the age of consent in the
181
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:06.440
United Kingdom is sixteen, and that when he was thirty
182
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:09.600
he slept with a sixteen year old. He called the
183
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.279
sex consensual, he called it legal, and he called it
184
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.399
and this is his word, exploitative. He said he recognized
185
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.480
that at thirty he was a different person, immature, selfish,
186
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:25.759
that he had not considered how his behavior affected the
187
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:29.399
people he was having sex with. He described himself at
188
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:32.200
that time in his life as, in his words, an
189
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:36.159
exploiter of women. He said fame gave him endless consent,
190
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.559
and he explained that the sex he had when he
191
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:42.639
was famous and charismatic was not in his framing consent overridden.
192
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:47.840
It was in his framing consent directed. There are several
193
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:50.480
things happening in that statement at once, and I want
194
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:53.960
to separate them out. The first thing is that Russell Brand,
195
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:57.360
six months before a rape trial with six accusers, is
196
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:00.399
telling the English speaking world that is a thirty year old,
197
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:02.720
at the height of his fame, he slept with a
198
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:06.039
sixteen year old girl. That is new. That is him
199
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:09.279
for the first time, I'm aware of admitting to sexual
200
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.000
activity with a teenager. He is framing it as legal
201
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:17.200
because in Britain the age of consent is sixteen. Let
202
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.279
me underline that legally, in the United Kingdom, a thirty
203
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.200
year old can have sex with a sixteen year old
204
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:25.440
and no criminal offense has occurred. That is the law.
205
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:29.919
His point about the legality is technically correct. The second
206
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.320
thing is that he is doing what defense lawyers sometimes
207
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:36.799
call saulting the well. He is pre empting. The twenty
208
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:40.279
twenty three Channel four Dispatches investigation that kicked this whole
209
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.399
thing off included allegations from a woman who said she
210
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:47.000
was sixteen years old and in school when Brand allegedly
211
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:51.120
sexually assaulted her. She alleged grooming, that he told her
212
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:53.639
to save his number in her phone under a fake name,
213
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:55.519
that he coached her on how to lie to her
214
00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:59.120
parents so she could see him. She is an adult now.
215
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.720
It is not publicly confirmed whether she is one of
216
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.159
the six accusers in this trial, but Brand on Megan
217
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:10.519
Kelly's podcast is now effectively saying, yes, the encounter happened,
218
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:14.360
It was consensual, it was legal, It was a bad
219
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:19.399
look shar but not criminal. The third thing, and this
220
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:21.279
is the one I want you to pay attention to.
221
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:27.200
Is the phrase consent directed? Brand said, paraphrasing that fame
222
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:30.840
and charisma gave him the ability to direct consent, that
223
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:34.039
the women he had sex with were consenting, but the
224
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:38.639
consent he allowed was being shaped by his power, his celebrity,
225
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.480
his money, his ability to make a person's career or
226
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:44.840
send their life in a new direction just by being
227
00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:48.360
seen with them. Here's why that phrase is worth sitting with,
228
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.840
because consent directed is a phrase that tries to split
229
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:55.559
the atom of criminal sexual conduct. He is saying, I
230
00:13:55.759 --> 00:14:00.120
was not overriding their no. I was manufacturing there yet yes.
231
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.240
And the implication he wants you to walk away with
232
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:08.840
is that manufacturing a yes. However cynically, however exploitatively is not.
233
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:15.480
Rape is not sexual assault is at worst a moral failure,
234
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:21.279
forgivable through religion, redeemable through a book. Look, I'm going
235
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:24.679
to be honest with you. That is not how consent works.
236
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:30.519
Consent that is produced through coercion, through power, imbalance, through deception.
237
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.639
Telling a kid to save your number under a fake
238
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.559
name and lie to her parents is not meaningfully consent.
239
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.039
The whole reason we have age of consent laws, The
240
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:44.039
whole reason we have rules about power dynamics in workplaces
241
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:47.960
is that the law already recognizes there are situations where
242
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:51.559
a person's yes is not really a yes. Whether a
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.480
2
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:15.359
3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.600
4
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.640
5
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.640
6
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.399
7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.960
8
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.240
9
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.280
10
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:43.960
11
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.960
12
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.240
