Nick Reiner Pleads Not Guilty to Parents’ Murders With Preliminary Hearing on April 29

Prosecutors have not announced a death penalty decision pending the coroner’s full report.

Overview

  • The 32-year-old entered the not-guilty plea through Deputy Public Defender Kimberly Greene during a brief Los Angeles arraignment.
  • Reiner remains held without bail following his December arrest after Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner, 70, were found fatally stabbed in their Brentwood home.
  • He is charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special-circumstance allegations of multiple murders and personal use of a knife, exposing him to life without parole or the death penalty.
  • District Attorney Nathan Hochman said the charging review continues and that a decision on capital punishment has not been made.
  • Prosecutors say most discovery has been turned over to the defense, and the court set April 29 for a preliminary hearing to determine if the case proceeds to trial.
