- The indictment alleges that Nick Reiner was lying in wait before attacking his parents.

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 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 the upscale Brentwood section of Los Angeles on December 14. Nick Reiner was arrested within hours and charged two days later. The grand jury indictment allows prosecutors to skip California’s preliminary hearing process.
The indictment includes a special allegation of use of a deadly weapon—a knife—that could contribute to a stiffer sentence. Prosecutors have not disclosed possible motives, and the case has been largely shrouded in secrecy.
新起诉书指控尼克·赖纳在杀害父母罗伯·赖纳和米歇尔·辛格·赖纳前埋伏待机
洛杉矶县大陪审团已对尼克·赖纳提出谋杀指控，涉及他父母罗伯·赖纳和米歇尔·辛格·赖纳的死亡，并增加了他在袭击前埋伏待机的指控。大陪审团于7月20日作出起诉决定，并于周三解密，32岁的尼克·赖纳在此后表示不认罪。
罗伯·赖纳和他的妻子于12月14日在洛杉矶高档布伦特伍德地区的家中被刺死。尼克·赖纳在几小时内被逮捕，并在两天后被控。大陪审团的起诉书使检方能够跳过加州的初步听证程序。
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。检方尚未披露可能的动机，该案件在很大程度上仍然笼罩在秘密之中。
