- A Los Angeles County grand jury has indicted Nick Reiner on murder charges for the killings of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.
- The indictment alleges that he was lying in wait before attacking them.
- Nick Reiner entered a not guilty plea after the indictment was unsealed on Wednesday.
- The indictment includes a special allegation of use of a deadly weapon, a knife.
- Prosecutors have not disclosed any possible motives for the killings.
A Los Angeles County grand jury has indicted Nick Reiner on murder charges in the killings of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, and adds the allegation that he was lying in wait before attacking them.
The grand jury returned the indictment on July 20, and it was unsealed on Wednesday, when 32-year-old Nick Reiner entered a not guilty plea. The indictment includes a special allegation of use of a deadly weapon—a knife—that could contribute to a stiffer sentence.
Prosecutors have said nothing about possible motives, and leaks in the case have been virtually nonexistent on both sides. The unsealed indictment reveals few new details in a case that has been shrouded in secrecy.
A finding that he was lying in wait along with a murder conviction would make Reiner eligible for the death penalty, but prosecutors said they haven’t decided whether to seek it. The indictment comes as Reiner is seeking unpaid money from a trust his parents established for him, claiming he needs it for his defense.
新起诉书指控尼克·瑞纳在杀害父母前埋伏
洛杉矶县大陪审团已对尼克·瑞纳提出谋杀指控，指控其杀害父母罗伯·瑞纳和米歇尔·辛格·瑞纳，并增加了他在袭击前埋伏的指控。
大陪审团于7月20日作出起诉决定，并于周三解封，32岁的尼克·瑞纳对此表示不认罪。起诉书中包括使用致命武器（刀具）的特别指控，这可能导致更严厉的判刑。
检方尚未透露任何可能的杀人动机，案件双方几乎没有泄密。解封的起诉书在一个充满秘密的案件中揭示了很少的新细节。
如果发现他埋伏并被判谋杀，尼克·瑞纳将有资格面临死刑，但检方表示尚未决定是否寻求死刑。起诉书发布之际，尼克·瑞纳正在寻求从父母为他设立的信托中获得未支付的款项，称他需要这些钱来为自己的辩护提供支持。
