LOS ANGELES Alan Jackson, the high-power attorney representing Nick Reiner in the stabbing death of his parents, producer-actor-director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner, withdrew from the case Wednesday. Reiner will now be represented by public defender Kimberly Greene. Wearing a brown jumpsuit, Reiner, 32, didn't enter a plea during the brief hearing. A judge has rescheduled his arraignment for Feb. 23.
Rob Reiner, who played Michael Stivic in 1970s sitcom All in the Family, went on to direct films including Stand By Me, A Few Good Men and When Harry Met Sally. His wife, Michele Singer Reiner, was a photographer, and they were found dead in their Brentwood, California, home Sunday afternoon. Nick Reiner was taken into custody Sunday evening. His Tuesday appearance was postponed because medical reasons prevented him from being transported from jail to the courthouse, according to the Associated Press.
