Nick Reiner made his first court appearance in a Los Angeles courthouse on Wednesday since being accused of killing his parents, legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner. The 32-year-old’s arraignment was postponed until Jan. 7, marking the second delay since his arrest on Sunday in connection with their deaths.

During the brief court appearance, Nick Reiner wore what appeared to be an all-blue vest and spoke only once, responding, “Yes, your honor.” No plea was entered due to the delay.

Murder Charges and Legal Proceedings

Court documents show that Nick Reiner was formally charged on Tuesday with two counts of murder, including special circumstance allegations of multiple murders, as well as the use of a deadly weapon, a knife. Arraignments typically serve as the first open-court hearing in a criminal case, during which charges are presented and defendants are given the opportunity to enter a plea. Judges also address legal representation, custody status, and future court dates.

The arraignment was initially postponed on Tuesday after Reiner was not medically cleared in time, according to his attorney, Alan Jackson. Jackson described the issue as a “procedural” matter and did not disclose specific medical details. The reason for Wednesday’s second postponement has not been made public.

"here are very, very complex and serious issues that are associated with this case. Things need to be thoroughly but very carefully dealt with and examined and looked at and analyzed."

Deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner

Rob Reiner, 78, a renowned actor, director, and producer, and Michele Singer Reiner were found dead in the master bedroom of their Brentwood home on Sunday. Los Angeles Police Department Assistant Chief Dominic Choi confirmed the discovery during the department’s weekly commission meeting. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office stated the couple was fatally stabbed "in the early morning hours" that day.

Later Sunday night, at around 9 p.m., Los Angeles police located Nick Reiner in University Park, an area near the University of Southern California, and took him into custody.

Surveillance Footage and Arrest Details

Surveillance video obtained by NBC Los Angeles shows the moment Nick Reiner was arrested near the intersection of Exposition Boulevard and Vermont Avenue, roughly 15 miles from his parents’ home. The footage captures multiple police vehicles surrounding him as he crossed the street around 9:15 p.m. He raised his hands above his head and was wearing a black and green sweater, a hat, and a red backpack.

Earlier footage shows him inside a gas station convenience store, waiting in line to buy a bottled drink shortly before his arrest.

Nick Reiner is currently being held without bail at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles, according to inmate records.
