Evidence of "mitigating factors" accumulating for his defense.
The rehab had nothing to do with heroin. Addicts always dig for excuses. Maybe God will show mercy and have him realize this is rock bottom.

FWIW, I don’t think this will go to trial.
I knew it would all point back to Meathead. He’s was such a fool yet projected against real people.
Saw an interview....Nick said he had been to rehab 17 or 18 times...and he was laughing about it...
Most 16 year old boys get hooked on hergroin instead, a lifelong addiction that leaves many in poverty.
So he had to go to rehab at age 16. Where were his parents when he was 12-16?
I worked with a woman whose husband went to gambling ‘recovery’ meetings. She said it was all men who traded stats and where the best casinos were. He never recovered nor even came near.
The sitcom All in the Family aired their death-penalty episode in 1971. California put a moratorium on the DP in 72, thus sparing the lives of the Manson Family. Meathead has been influencing California politics for a very long time.

I don’t know what all these other people are talking about. I was there twice, once in April-July of 2021 and again in June-September in 2022. I also went to 3 other places. Maybe I didn’t have bad mental problems, and it was more just my … More

I went here over a decade ago - it taught me emotional literacy, gave me a love of nature, reset my relationship with my parents, and set me back on the right path for college. … More

Lwk fire would go again if I wasn’t in my 20’s. Better than the other wilderness I’ve been to. Actually helped me change and at points rather enjoyable. Staff Ryan is the goat. And thanks Derrick for being a real one. Also stop leaving surfies around campsites.

I was sent here in 2006 and it traumatized me for life. I have been in therapy pretty much ever since, and will never be able to fully heal from my experience at Second Nature. My parents feel awful for having ever sent me here and said it … More

Shaming, degrading, and humiliating kids in the name of treatment. If you don’t remember having to squat and cough then being sent out to the middle of nowhere for months you are probably still traumatized by the experience. I watched the … More

When Meatloaf died a little while back there was a story about his daughters getting grief from rich Westport CT girls in school and him moving the family upriver to a more modest middle class town.
It would have been good advice for the Reiners to move out of Brentwood to a place with fewer temptations, but Rob was already a 2nd generation celebrity and I guess the Reiners weren’t willing to give up the glamour and glitz. They assumed they were getting support and acceptance and fellowship from the people around them but their kids were in a snakepit of privilege and drug use.
Sounds like pops just sent him away to trainers rather than deal with his own son. Those rehab places exist to collect money from lazy wealthy people (when it comes to family) and don’t actually do anything. I have a hard time finding any sympathy for meathead.
Expensive “rehab facilities” proliferated back in the 70s when insurance companies would pay for them. They would have a “lifetime maximum” which the facilities would exhaust and then let people go. When insurance companies wised up and stopped the money grab, these grifters turned to a more lucrative business model, treating diseases of the rich, which is what Hollywooders use to babysit their spawn when they become insufferable.
Sometimes rehab is like jail. Some people go to learn how to become a better addict and make connections to get drugs after they leave.
Sob story to make him a victim.
Prison will be an even better experience.
“For all the negative that I think it did to me, it also exposed me to a larger demographic of people.”
Yeah, Nick; it’s called cultural enrichment. And without moral teaching, which I doubt he got at a new age rehab, he didn’t have a chance. Probably told him that he was just a good person who got mixed up. Learn some yoga and achieve peace. Rehab has a high failure rate even with Christian or other proper programs. With a new age program, I’m guessing he didn’t have a chance.
Pretty much a worthless human being. Lock him in stir until he croaks.
He had so many opportunities, and blew it all.
The real question is why he was sent to Second Nature in the first place if he wasn’t already an addict.
