Nick Reiner expected to appear in court on murder charges in killing of parents

Nick Reiner, 32, is expected to appear in court on Wednesday, charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, in their Brentwood home. He is being held without bail after being arrested on Sunday, following the discovery of his parents' bodies. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office has charged Reiner with the special circumstance of multiple murders and using a knife in the alleged crime. Authorities have not released details about the circumstances of the deaths, but their investigation led to Reiner's arrest. Reiner's defense attorney stated that his client had not yet received medical clearance to appear in court. Reiner has a history of drug abuse and mental health issues, which inspired a film he co-wrote with his father.
