Son of Rob Reiner Pleads Not Guilty in Parents' Murder

Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of director Rob Reiner, just pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder for stabbing his parents.

To death, back on December 14, 2025, his mom Michelle was 68, dad was 78, and they were found in their Bretonwood home with multiple sharp-force injuries.

Cops arrested Nick hours after the discovery.

Earlier this week, his lawyer entered the plea in a packed LA courtroom while Nick stood behind glass.

He has a history of drug issues and schizophrenia, and there was a reported argument with his dad at a holiday party the night before.

A court order is blocking more crime scene details right now.

Jake Reiner, Nick's brother, dropped a raw essay on Substack about the nightmare of losing both parents and having his sibling at the center.

He called him his guiding lights and shared how he got the devastating calls while at a friends event.

Jake and sister Romi put out a joint statement thanking folks for support and asking for privacy.

Nick's high profile attorney stepped down recently, but the message stays the same, not guilty.

Prosecutors haven't decided on seeking the death penalty yet, and he's locked up with Al Bail at Twin Towers facility.

Next court date is April 29 for preliminary hearing to see if there's enough evidence for trial.

This family's pain keeps unfolding, but the focus stays on facts as they come.
