The adult children of director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, have broken their silence. Jake and Romy Reiner called the death of their parents a horrific and devastating loss, saying they are in unimaginable pain. They did not mention their brother, Nick, who is accused in the case.
Nick Reiner appeared in court but did not enter a plea to two murder charges. The medical examiner confirmed the couple died from multiple sharp force injuries in their Los Angeles home. During the hearing, the defendant only confirmed he understood his right to a speedy trial. His arraignment was postponed until early January.
His defense attorney, Alan Jackson, told reporters there are complex issues to review and asked for public restraint. A legal observer suggested the delay might allow for a psychiatric evaluation to determine his fitness for trial.
