Nick Reiner has been indicted by a Los Angeles County grand jury on murder charges in the killings of his parents, actor Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. The indictment, which was unsealed Wednesday, alleges that Nick Reiner laid in wait before attacking his parents.
Case Details
The grand jury indictment is a major step toward trial and allows prosecutors to skip California’s preliminary hearing process. The unsealed indictment reveals few new details in a case that has been shrouded in secrecy. However, the lying in wait allegation, along with other circumstances, means Reiner is eligible for the death penalty. Prosecutors say they haven’t decided whether to seek it.
Rob Reiner, a director, actor, and Hollywood luminary, and his wife, photographer and producer Michele Singer Reiner, were stabbed to death in their home in the upscale Brentwood section of Los Angeles on December 14. Nick Reiner was arrested hours later and charged two days later.
