Nick Reiner Update: Siblings Walk Away Before Trial

In the latest development in the Nick Reiner murder case, siblings Jake Reiner and Romy Reiner have reportedly ended all financial support for Nick's defense — and sources say neither will attend his trial.

Nick Reiner, 32, pleaded not guilty on February 23rd, 2026 to two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances in the stabbing deaths of his parents Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner at their Brentwood home on December 14th, 2025. He remains in custody without bail. The Los Angeles County DA has not ruled out seeking the death penalty. His next court appearance is April 29th, 2026, where a preliminary hearing will be scheduled.

Jake Reiner and Romy Reiner initially hired prominent criminal defense attorney Alan Jackson — who represented Karen Read in her high-profile acquittal — shortly after the murders. Jackson withdrew in January citing undisclosed reasons he said were legally and ethically impossible to explain. Public defender Kimberly Greene entered Nick's not guilty plea at his February 23rd arraignment and is now his sole representation. Reports indicate she is the only person to have visited Nick during his more than two months in custody.

A source with direct knowledge told TMZ: "Nick's defense is Nick's defense. They're not involved."

This channel covers every development in the Reiner case in depth — the legal strategy, the mental health history, the conservatorship that ended in 2021, the alleged schizoaffective disorder diagnosis, the medication change one month before the murders, and what the road to trial looks like now that Nick faces it largely alone.
