Nick Reiner, who turned 33 on Monday, is accused of fatally stabbing\u00a0<\/a>his parents, renowned director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Reiner, in the family’s home in December.<\/p>\n

The night before the killings, Nick Reiner — who was living on his parents’ property and had previously struggled with addiction\u00a0— got into an argument with his father at a holiday party and was seen acting strangely, sources told ABC News at the time.<\/p>\n

An indictment unsealed <\/a>in August charged Nick Reiner with two counts of murder with the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder by means of lying in wait, according to prosecutors. He also faces a special allegation that he used a dangerous and deadly weapon, a knife. He pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n

Nick Reiner is held on no bond and is due in court on Tuesday for a pretrial hearing. No trial date has been set.<\/p>\n

While California does have inmates on death row, there has not been an execution in the state in 20 years and Gov. Gavin Newsom placed a moratorium on executions in 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
