The son of acclaimed director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner faces two counts of first-degree murder
Nick Reiner, the son of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, will appear in court on Wednesday for arraignment on two counts of first-degree murder in the killing of his parents.
The 32-year-old has been in custody since last month, hours after the acclaimed director and actor Rob Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele, 70, a photographer, were found dead in their Los Angeles-area home. Authorities allege that Nick Reiner fatally stabbed the couple.
Wednesday’s proceedings will mark his first appearance in court in three weeks.
The Los Angeles county medical examiner found that the Rob and Michele Reiner’s deaths were the result of homicide, caused by “multiple sharp force injuries” and that they died minutes after being attacked. Nick Reiner has been charged with first-degree murder, with a special circumstance of multiple murders, and a special allegation for the use of a dangerous weapon, and is being held without bail.
