Son Charged with Parents' Murder Under Conservatorship

Nick Reiner is facing two counts of murder for the deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, on December 14. This case has gained attention due to Reiner's past, including a yearlong conservatorship initiated in 2020. A licensed fiduciary involved in that conservatorship described mental illness as a "widely misunderstood epidemic."

The Los Angeles Superior Court confirmed that Nick Reiner's conservatorship concluded in 2021. He is currently detained at the mental-health unit within the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles. If convicted, Reiner faces the most severe legal consequences, potentially a life sentence or the death penalty.

Recently, Nick Reiner's legal representation changed. His previous lawyer, Alan Jackson, withdrew from the case earlier this month. He is now being represented by public defender Kimberly Greene as he awaits further proceedings.
