Nick Reiner referenced going to jail in a 2016 video.

In the 2016 video, he was interviewed by a friend inside of his home and around the block. At one point, he smoked alongside his sister, Romy, 28.

"And I don't even care if anyone calls me a Sally, because I'm a snail and I'm never gonna f------ fail. And you know what? You're gonna have to bail me outta jail," Nick rapped.

A source who viewed the clip called the young screenwriter “creative but misguided.”

"He grew up around Hollywood A-listers and their lifestyles and it didn't seem to occur to him that any of that could be taken from him," the insider said. "The hardest thing for Nick was following through on his ideas and doing the work he didn’t find exciting.”

"We ask that during this process, you allow the system to move forward in the way that it was designed to move forward, not with a rush to judgement, not with jumping to conclusions, but with restraint and with dignity, and with the respect that this system and this process deserves, and that the family deserves," Nick's attorney Alan Jackson told reporters outside the courtroom, noting there were "very complex and serious issues that are associated with this case."

Nick could receive the death penalty or life without parole if convicted.

As he appeared before Judge Theresa McGonigle, he uttered only three simple words: "Yes, your honor."
