Romy and Jake Reiner Reach Out to Incarcerated Family Friend as Parents’ Murder Case Advances

Their messages to longtime ally Nanon Williams highlight the family's continued exoneree advocacy.

Overview

  • On January 4, Romy and Jake Reiner emailed Nanon Williams to affirm they consider him family and remain committed to supporting his push for freedom.
  • Williams, incarcerated for 34 years and maintaining his innocence, grew close to Rob and Michele Reiner after a 2016 production tied to his case and worked with them through Georgetown’s Making an Exoneree program.
  • Nick Reiner has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the December 14 deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner and faces potential life without parole or the death penalty.
  • Nick has not entered a plea, and his arraignment has been rescheduled to February 23, with a public defender now representing him after attorney Alan Jackson withdrew.
  • Williams says the siblings conveyed that they are grieving their parents and, in some ways, their brother, while showing the strength and compassion their parents modeled.
