Nick Reiner case: Judge to decide if transcripts in grand jury indictment should be unsealed
- Nick Reiner, 33, returns to court Wednesday as a judge considers whether to unseal grand jury transcripts in the deaths of his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner, in their Brentwood home.
- Charged with the December slayings of his father, 78, and mother, 70, Reiner prompted his siblings Romy and Jake to oppose unsealing court records, citing potential for "additional trauma and harm" to the family.
- Concurrently, Reiner is fighting to access more than $1.5 million from a family trust to fund his defense, with attorneys arguing California's "slayer statute" should not prevent mandatory distributions to the accused.
- A coalition of more than a dozen media outlets is challenging the request to keep records sealed, arguing Reiner has not overcome the public's right of access to court proceedings.
- Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced last month he will not seek the death penalty, meaning Reiner faces life in prison without parole if convicted, with trial likely in 2027.
