The highly anticipated moment comes after the unveiling of the dark and chilling details surrounding the high-profile murder case, including an intense first responder 911 call.He faced the court not as a son mourning his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner…but as the 32-year-old man accused of murdering them in cold blood.On Wednesday, December 17, 2025, Nick Reiner made his initial appearance in Los Angeles Superior Court. During the proceedings, he spoke out when asked a question by the judge.
Clad in a blue anti-suicide smock and bound at the wrists and ankles with shackles, Nick made a subdued but haunting appearance inside the court. Separated from the courtroom by a sheet of thick glass, he sat and stared straight ahead.As the courtroom settled into a heavy silence, Nick’s attorney, Alan Jackson, dressed sharply in a suit, addressed Judge Theresa McGonigle with a request to delay the arraignment.”Your Honor, if we could, I would like to ask for a continuance of the arraignment,” Alan said, standing between two members of his legal team. “We’ve coordinated with counsel from the DA’s office, and January 7th, with the court’s permission, will be a convenient date for us to come back for a potential arraignment.” The judge acknowledged his statement, then directed her attention directly to the defendant.
