yahoo.com • • general
Key Points:
- Nick Reiner is seeking access to trust money withheld due to the "Slayer Statute," arguing that much of the inheritance comes from his grandfather, Carl Reiner, who died naturally in 2020, and not from his slain parents.
- Reiner's legal team contends that funds from his grandfather should not be withheld under the Slayer Statute, which only applies to inheritances from individuals a person has killed.
- They also highlight that a portion of the trust was set to be paid to Reiner on his 30th birthday, before his parents' deaths, and that he has not been found guilty in court, urging the court to release his untainted funds to afford legal representation.
- Reiner was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder with a special circumstance of lying in wait but will not face the death penalty, as decided by the Los Angeles County District Attorney after consulting Reiner's siblings.
- If convicted, Reiner faces life imprisonment without parole, and no trial date has been set yet.
