"Nick Reiner made his first appearance in a Los Angeles courtroom on Wednesday morning, roughly three days after allegedly killing his parents - beloved Hollywood figures Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner - inside their Brentwood home. Flanked by his attorney, Alan Jackson, and two other lawyers, Reiner was barely visible from the courtroom gallery during the brief hearing. He donned a blue suicide prevention smock frequently worn by defendants who pose a risk of self-harm."
"Jackson did not answer any questions even as reporters probed him about his client's mental health and asked to know who was paying for his legal services. "We ask that during this process you allow the system to move forward in the way it was designed. Not with a rush to judgment. Not with jumping to conclusions. But with restraint and with dignity," he said."
Nick Reiner, 32, made a first courtroom appearance in downtown Los Angeles about three days after allegedly killing his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, inside their Brentwood home. Reiner appeared with attorney Alan Jackson and wore a blue suicide-prevention smock. He was charged with two counts of murder and remains jailed without bail. Arraignment was continued to Jan. 7 and no plea was entered. Los Angeles County prosecutors said no decision has been made yet on seeking the death penalty; such capital reviews typically take months. Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed in their master bedroom Sunday afternoon.
