A Los Angeles County grand jury has indicted Nick Reiner on murder charges related to the deaths of his parents, actor Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner. The indictment, returned on July 20 and unsealed on August 12, includes allegations that he was lying in wait before the attack. The Reiners were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home on December 14. Nick Reiner was arrested shortly after the incident and charged two days later. The indictment allows prosecutors to bypass California's preliminary hearing process. The case remains largely secretive, but the new allegations make Reiner eligible for the death penalty, although prosecutors have not yet decided whether to pursue it.
