00:08We've got more on this sudden shake-up in Nick Reiner's murder case in today's Page Six Headlines.
00:14Nick Reiner's arraignment was delayed for a second time after famed defense attorney Alan Jackson told a Los Angeles judge he had no choice but to withdraw from the case moments before the hearing.
00:24Jackson said circumstances beyond his and Reiner's control forced the move, adding that he's legally and ethically barred from explaining further.
00:33Outside court, however, Jackson was emphatic, insisting the accused is, quote, not guilty of murder under California law, and saying the legal process will ultimately reveal the truth.
00:43Reiner will now be represented by L.A. County public defender Kimberly Green, and his arraignment has been rescheduled for February 23rd.

01:28While Tisdale said she initially tried not to take it personally, she ultimately questioned why she kept showing up when the distance only grew.
01:36Others connected to the group appeared to respond online as well, including Sammy Ryan and Hilary Duff's husband, Matthew Coma, who both posted content widely interpreted as digs at Tisdale.
01:48Finally, Prince Harry is expected to return to the UK soon, but a reunion with King Charles likely isn't on the agenda.
01:54Sources tell Page Six that Harry's visit, which is tied to his ongoing legal battle against associated newspapers, comes with a very tight schedule and no firm trial dates.
02:05Adding to the challenge, King Charles is expected to be in Scotland during Harry's stay, and the monarch is said to avoid involvement while active legal cases are underway.
