Nick Reiner is in deep trouble; he is set to face charges for the double homicide of his own parents, Rob and Michele Reiner. This news was shared by Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman during a press briefing alongside LAPD Chief Jim McDonell.
“What he’s facing includes two counts of first-degree murder with multiple murder circumstances attached,” Hochman explained. “Additionally, there’s an allegation that he personally used a deadly weapon, specifically a knife. If convicted, he could face life in prison without parole or even the death penalty.”
Originally, Nick was supposed to make his court debut on Tuesday, but his lawyer, Alan Jackson, informed Fox News Digital that “he’s not fit to be transported to the court due to medical concerns.”
