Prosecutors plan a decision on capital charges after the coroner’s final report, with the next hearing set for April 29.

Overview

  • At a Los Angeles County Superior Court arraignment, public defender Kimberly Greene entered a not‑guilty plea on behalf of the 32‑year‑old, who spoke briefly.
  • District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said the case qualifies for death‑penalty review and that his office is following a strict internal process.
  • Reiner remains in custody without bail, and the court scheduled the next proceeding for April 29.
  • The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner determined both victims died of multiple sharp‑force injuries and ruled the deaths homicides.
  • Police arrested Reiner near Exposition Park, a few hours after Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were found dead in their Brentwood home.
