I’m glad NR is starting with a regular “not guilty” plea, perhaps his attorney advised him he did not meet the threshold for NGRI. I suppose NGRI can be brought up later, but for now, regular criminal track.Nick Reiner has pleaded not guilty to the slayings of his father and mother, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, setting up a case that could test his potential defense surrounding his mental fitness to stand trial.![]()
Nick Reiner Pleads Not Guilty to Charges of Murdering Parents
It remains unclear if Reiner will pursue an insanity defense. His long history of drug use and related mental health disorders will almost certainly play a major role in the trial.www.hollywoodreporter.com
The plea, entered in a downtown Los Angeles courthouse in front of a throng of media, begins what could be a lengthy legal process, a period during which Reiner’s lawyers are expected to question his mental state leading up to and during the killings. It could be over a year before he faces a trial, if there is one.

JMO, I think they're going to wait until all the psych examinations have been done and they've had a chance to observe his behavior for a while. He would have to consent to any kind of plea agreement and, if not fully evaluated, the agreement could be invalidated. They need to make sure he's fully capable of making that kind of decision, e.g. agreeing to LWOP instead of going to trial and possibly getting the DP. IANAL, JMOI wonder if the PD has decided that Nick's best shot is to plead not guilty and then try and get a plea deal?
Thank you Megnut. You are amazing
