Nick Reiner Pleads Not Guilty to Murdering Parents Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner
Nick Reiner, 32, faces life imprisonment or death penalty for allegedly stabbing his parents to death amid prior mental health and addiction struggles, prosecutors said.
- On Feb. 23, Nick Reiner pleaded not guilty at his Los Angeles arraignment on two counts of first-degree murder with special-circumstance allegation in the deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.
- On Dec. 14, authorities found Rob and Michele Reiner dead in their Brentwood home and arrested Nick Reiner near USC around 9:15 p.m., less than six hours later.
- The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner found both died from "multiple sharp force injuries," and prosecutors allege a knife was used, with possible penalties including death or life without parole.
- The judge set an April 29, 2026 preliminary hearing to determine if evidence warrants trial; Alan Jackson withdrew last month, and Kimberly Greene now represents Nick Reiner.
- Court records and reporting show a history of addiction and a 2020 conservatorship; Reiner was diagnosed with schizophrenia and argued with his father at a Conan O'Brien holiday party while living in a guest house on family property.
