Nick Reiner, 32, appeared in court on Wednesday as his murder case was delayed until September. Reiner, the son of actor and director Rob Reiner, is charged with the December 14, 2023, stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, at their Brentwood home. During the hearing, Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Chong stated that prosecutors are still awaiting autopsy reports for the victims, which have not been completed over four months after the killings. Defense attorney Kimberly Greene noted that discovery evidence, including nearly two terabytes of material, has yet to be fully provided. Reiner, who has pleaded not guilty, remains in custody. His case has faced procedural delays, including the recent departure of high-profile defense attorney Alan Jackson. Reiner has a history of mental health struggles, which were explored in the 2015 film “Being Charlie,” co-created with his father. A motive for the killings has not been publicly disclosed.
