CA - Rob Reiner and wife Michele murdered, LA, 14 December 2025 *arrest*

[girlhasnoname]

That's kinda what I'm thinking, and that's why I've said, and I seem to be in the minority- that he'd never plead NGRI.

Same and I think that's why his last attorney withdrew from the case.

 

[LinasK]

I wonder about that too. Too plead NGRI would acknowledge his mental illness. Unless he claims self defense, blaming his parents for provoking him isn’t going to prove he’s not guilty of murdering them. At best that could reduce his sentence after he was found guilty by introducing mitigating circumstances.

Self defense wouldn’t surprise me but if it can be proven one or both were in bed when he attacked them, that would be a tough sell. If not that, I think he’ll drag out this pretrial phase as long as possible, then plead guilty. He’s lost his control, nothing left to empower himself with. Representation by a PD, the same as other destitute accused men and women, is likely bruising to his ego.

He's going to experience a real comeuppance in life- being told "No" for the first time in his life and facing real consequences- same as convicted murderers Bryan Kohlberger and now Kouri Richins.

I can't link it because they're not on MSM accounts, but it's worth googling Rob Reiner and Billy Crystal on All in the Family: No Small Parts

11 minutes of the start of what became a lifelong friendship off the set. Very alive. A beautiful thing.

I tried to look it up, but the query wants to search by Case Number. I've found his case before in this database, but didn't write down the case number. Let's check and see if its anywhere in this thread.

What a wonderful thing to have such a great friendship. It's all the more heartbreaking when they experienced such a tragedy.

Rob and his wife had a lot of very good friends. He was so admired and respected in his field. He made so many of my favorite films. I'm still having a hard time watching All in the Family.

Netflix has featured a number of his films in recent months. Many of my favorites were Rob Reiner films too.

Rob Reiner's son Jake shares horrific details of his parents' murders

Jake Reiner shared a gut-wrenching Substack article on Friday paying tribute to his 'amazing' parents, saying their deaths in December 2025 were 'too devastating to comprehend.'

www.dailymail.com

Whew, Jake Reiner’s heartfelt description of the loss of his parents. The article contains a link to his substack.

It’s very revelatory of his wonderful relationship with his parents and the unbelievable shock of them dead at Nick’s hands.

I just wish he had included his sister from Rob’s marriage to Penny Marshall whom Rob adopted.

 

[arielilane]

Jake Reiner, son of the late Rob and Michele Reiner, wrote a deeply emotional Substack describing how his brother, Nick Reiner, robbed him of so many things...re: his slain parents"This is my story. Romy will tell hers in her own way and in her time. I was robbed of so many things that day. My parents won’t be at my wedding, they won’t get to hold their future grandchild, and they won’t get to see me have the successful career I’m still seeking. It simultaneously breaks my heart and enrages me."

So last I remember, there was a rather sudden shift in circumstances. The very pricey high profile defense attorney said he had no choice but to step away----and then it seems that NR had to pivot to a Public Defender?

I'm curious to see if his siblings stepped forward and hired him a private attorney or if he will go ahead with the public defender?

Seems as though none of the siblings have visited him

Nick Reiner’s sole visitor identified as he awaits trial for parents’ brutal murders

The accused killer is being held at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles.

No cameras allowed in courtroom today. IIRC, last time a new judge was assigned to his case.
