Nick Reiner Charged With Murder in Parents' Deaths as First Court Appearance Is Delayed

Los Angeles prosecutors filed two murder counts, with motive and coroner determinations still undisclosed.

Overview

  • Authorities say Reiner is in custody at the Parker Center Jail and, after initial reports of bail, he is now being held without bail pending proceedings.
  • His arraignment was postponed after his attorney said he lacked medical clearance for transport, and a new court timing has not been set.
  • Prosecutors announced two counts of murder and noted potential maximum penalties include life without parole, with a death-penalty decision pending.
  • Police found Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner at their Brentwood home on Sunday; U.S. outlets reported stab or cutting wounds, while the official cause has not been released.
  • Investigators continue search-warrant evidence gathering; media reports cite no signs of forced entry, directing scrutiny toward the immediate circle.
