Nick Reiner Pleads Not Guilty in Parents' Stabbing Deaths at Los Angeles Arraignment

Prosecutors have not yet decided whether to seek the death penalty.

Overview

  • Reiner, 32, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances for multiple victims and use of a deadly weapon, exposing him to life without parole or capital punishment.
  • A judge denied bail and he remains in isolation at the Twin Towers Correctional Center following his December arrest.
  • The court set April 29 as the next date to move the case forward, and Reiner waived his right to a speedy preliminary hearing.
  • Public defender Kimberly Greene now represents Reiner after private attorney Alan Jackson withdrew from the case in January.
  • Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner, 70, were found fatally stabbed in their Brentwood home on December 14; the coroner cited multiple sharp-force injuries and some forensic records remain sealed as the investigation continues.
