Reiner Heir Faces Murder Plea
23 Feb
Summary
- Nick Reiner to enter plea in parents' stabbing deaths.
- Rob Reiner, acclaimed director, died from sharp force injuries.
- Defendant's new attorney to represent him in court.

Nick Reiner is expected to enter a plea on Monday in the fatal stabbing of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. The 32-year-old has been in custody without bail since his arrest following the discovery of the bodies at their Los Angeles home on December 14, 2025. This appearance follows two previous court hearings that saw limited progress.
Reiner's new legal representation will be public defender Kimberly Greene. His previous high-profile attorney, Alan Jackson, withdrew from the case due to unspecified ethical circumstances, though he maintained his client's innocence. The victims, director Rob Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele, 70, died from multiple sharp force injuries.
Prosecutors are still considering whether to seek the death penalty for Nick Reiner, who faces two counts of first-degree murder. Rob Reiner was a celebrated director known for iconic films like 'When Harry Met Sally...' and 'Stand By Me.'
