Summary
Jake and Romy Reiner testified before a Los Angeles grand jury that indicted their brother Nick Reiner on two first-degree murder counts in the deaths of parents Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.
The indictment, returned in July and unsealed Aug. 12, adds a special-circumstance allegation of lying in wait and a knife-use allegation tied to the Dec. 14, 2025 killings.
Prosecutors say Nick, 32, fatally stabbed his parents at their Brentwood home, was arrested hours later near USC, and has remained jailed without bail; he has pleaded not guilty.
A Sept. 15 pretrial hearing is next, and if convicted as charged, Nick could face death or life without parole, though prosecutors have not decided whether to seek the death penalty.
The testimony comes weeks after Nick sought access to a $1.5 million trust, alleging Jake and Romy had backed away from funding his legal defense.
