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

[imstilla.grandma]

Nick Reiner returns to a Los Angeles courtroom on Wednesday where a judge is expected to set a date for a preliminary hearing to determine if prosecutors have sufficient evidence to proceed to trial for the murder of his parents.

Records show Nick has a history of mental health struggles, including a schizophrenia diagnosis and a prior yearlong conservatorship that expired in 2021.

While investigators have noted that Nick reportedly acted "erratically" during a holiday party the night before the killings, authorities have not officially confirmed a motive.

It also remains unclear if the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office will seek capital punishment. District Attorney Nathan Hochman stated a decision on the death penalty has not yet been finalized.

"Defender Kimberly Greene
explained that she and her team were still waiting on Rob and Michele’s autopsy reports,
so Judge Samuel Ohta extended the preliminary hearing setting to Sept. 15.




Nick, 32, wore a yellow prison jumpsuit and blue pants, sporting a shaved head and full beard.
He maintained an icy stare as he sat emotionless."
