Nick Reiner, 32, is set to appear in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom for his arraignment on two counts of first-degree murder. He has been held without bail since his arrest hours after his parents, actor-director Rob Reiner and wife Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead with stab wounds at their home in Brentwood, California, on December 14. Reiner's previous attorney, Alan Jackson, quit the case in January due to circumstances beyond his control, stating that he could not comment further. Reiner is now represented by public defender Kimberly Greene. The arraignment hearing may mark a turning point in the case, as Reiner may finally enter a plea. A court date has been set for Monday.
