Prosecutors won't seek death penalty for Rob Reiner's son in parents' murder case
–
Neutral summary
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced Tuesday that he will not seek the death penalty for Nick Reiner, accused of murdering his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. Hochman said the decision followed a “rigorous review” of aggravating and mitigating circumstances, and took into account the views of the victims' family, including their opposition to capital punishment. If convicted, Nick Reiner, who turned 33 on Monday, faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. He appeared in court Tuesday for a pretrial hearing; the trial is not expected to begin before 2027.
