New indictment alleges Nick Reiner was lying in wait before killing his parents

Key Points:

• A Los Angeles County grand jury indicted Nick Reiner on murder charges for killing his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, with an added allegation of lying in wait, which could make him eligible for the death penalty.
• The indictment, returned on July 20 and unsealed recently, allows prosecutors to bypass California's preliminary hearing process and reveals few new details about the case, which remains largely secret, including the motive and circumstances of the attack.
• Nick Reiner has pleaded not guilty and is currently seeking access to at least $1.5 million in trust funds established by his parents to help pay for his defense, as he aims to hire a high-profile attorney.
• Rob Reiner was a renowned actor and director, known for roles such as Michael "Meathead" Stivic on "All in the Family" and directing films like "This is Spinal Tap" and "A Few Good Men," while Michele Singer was a photographer and producer.
• The case has deeply affected the Reiner family, with Nick’s brother describing the situation as a "living nightmare," and prosecutors emphasize the betrayal involved in the crime.
