Nick Reiner made his first court appearance on Wednesday, briefly facing charges tied to the deaths of his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner. The appearance lasted just minutes — and Nick spoke only once.
The 32-year-old appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court seated behind plexiglass in an enclosed area designated for people in custody. He wore a thick blue one-piece garment, a suicide prevention vest, and remained quiet throughout the hearing. When the judge asked if he was willing to waive his right to a speedy arraignment, Nick softly replied, “Yes, your honor.”
Nick did not enter a plea. His arraignment has been continued until January 7, 2026, and he is currently being held without bail.
Inside Nick Reiner’s First Court Appearance
Nick’s attorney, Alan Jackson, stood in front of him during the hearing, at times appearing to shield his client from the media seated in the courtroom. Jackson later told reporters outside the courthouse that the case is a “devastating tragedy” for the family and stressed that there are “very complex and serious issues that are associated with this case.”
