Key Points:
- Nick Reiner, 32, pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder for the fatal stabbing of his parents, director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner, during a Los Angeles court appearance.
- Reiner waived his right to a speedy preliminary hearing, with the next hearing scheduled for April 29; no bail was granted and he remains in custody since his December arrest.
- Prosecutors have not yet decided whether to seek the death penalty, and Reiner's previous attorney withdrew, leading to his current representation by a deputy public defender.
- Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death in their home late last year, with prosecutors stating the attack occurred in the master bedroom after a family argument the previous night.
