Rob Reiner’s son Nick rocks back and forth in court as murder case takes dramatic turn over parents’ deaths

Key points

• Nick Reiner rocked back and forth in his chair during a Los Angeles court hearing on the murder charges over the deaths of his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner. Page Six reported that he appeared more alert and restless than at earlier hearings.
• He has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder over the stabbings at the family's Brentwood home in December 2025. Judge Sam Ohta granted the defence more time before the court considers releasing grand jury transcripts and exhibits.
• The case is due to resume on 13 January.
