Nick Reiner prosecutors won’t seek death penalty in the killing of parents Rob and Michele Reiner, DA says
- On Tuesday, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced that prosecutors will not seek the death penalty against Nick Reiner, charged with murdering his parents in December 2025.
- Accused of murdering his father, Rob Reiner, and mother, Michele Singer Reiner, Nick was arrested nine months ago near the University of Southern California after the December killings.
- Romy Reiner discovered the bodies after a massage therapist found no answer on Dec. 14; an indictment unsealed last month added an allegation of lying in wait to the charges.
- Hochman consulted with the victims' loved ones, including the siblings, before deciding against the death penalty; Reiner now faces a maximum sentence of life without the possibility of parole.
- Although the office considered the family's views in the final decision, Hochman did not disclose what specific punishment the family had requested for Reiner regarding the first-degree murder charges.
