Rob Reiner once made a film with his son Nick, now suspected of killing parents

Nick Reiner, 32, faces life without parole after being charged with stabbing his parents to death amid years of addiction and family conflict, officials said.

  • On December 16, 2025, Alan Jackson confirmed he had been retained to defend 32-year-old Nick Reiner, charged with two counts of first-degree murder and a special knife allegation.
  • After police found Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner dead on Dec. 14 in Brentwood, Los Angeles, Nick Reiner was arrested Monday near the University of Southern California and held without bail.
  • According to his firm bio, Jackson has tried more than 85 cases to jury verdict with a 96 percent career success rate, and he has represented high-profile clients including Karen Read, Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein.
  • Reiner is being held without bail at Twin Towers and could be arraigned as soon as Wednesday once medically cleared, Jackson said, 'The bailiff has indicated that the sheriff's department has indicated that we'll take it on a day by day basis'.
  • The killings stunned the Hollywood community and prompted tributes from Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest, while the Reiners had been scheduled to dine with Michelle and Barack Obama that night.
