Nick Reiner prosecutors won’t seek death penalty in the killing of parents Rob and Michele Reiner, DA says
Prosecutors said the maximum sentence is life without parole after reviewing aggravating and mitigating factors and the wishes of the victims’ family.
- 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.
