New indictment alleges Nick Reiner was lying in wait before killing parents Rob and Michele Reiner
- A Los Angeles County grand jury has indicted Nick Reiner on murder charges for the killings of his parents.
- The indictment alleges that Reiner was lying in wait before attacking his parents.
- Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were stabbed to death in their home on December 14.
- Nick Reiner entered a not guilty plea after the indictment was unsealed.
- The indictment includes a special allegation of use of a deadly weapon, which could lead to a stiffer sentence.
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, which was unsealed on Wednesday when 32-year-old Nick Reiner entered a not guilty plea. Rob Reiner and his wife were stabbed to death in their home in Brentwood on December 14.
The indictment allows prosecutors to skip California’s preliminary hearing process, where evidence is publicly aired. A finding that he was lying in wait along with a murder conviction would make Reiner eligible for the death penalty, though prosecutors have not decided whether to seek it.
新起诉书指控尼克·雷纳在杀害父母罗伯·雷纳和米歇尔·辛格·雷纳前伺机而动
洛杉矶县大陪审团已对尼克·雷纳提出谋杀指控，因其杀害父母罗伯·雷纳和米歇尔·辛格·雷纳，并增加了他在袭击之前伺机而动的指控。
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·雷纳对此表示不认罪。罗伯·雷纳和他的妻子于12月14日在布伦特伍德的家中被刺死。
起诉书允许检方跳过加利福尼亚的初步听证程序，该程序会公开审理证据。若认定他伺机而动并被判谋杀，雷纳将有可能面临死刑，尽管检方尚未决定是否追求这一结果。
