The Rob Reiner Murder and America's Broken Mental Health System | True Crime Today

Rob Reiner knew his son could hurt him. He reportedly said it out loud the night before he died. And there was nothing he could legally do about it.

Nick Reiner is now facing two counts of first-degree murder for allegedly stabbing his parents to death. His defense attorney is building an insanity case. But the real story isn't just about Nick's mental illness — it's about a system that trapped his parents with no way out.

California's Lanterman-Petris-Short Act requires imminent danger for involuntary commitment. Not "probably dangerous." Not "clearly deteriorating." Imminent. Right now. This second. Families get 72-hour holds that end the moment the patient says the right words. And addicts are very good at saying the right words.

Nick reportedly gamed seventeen rehab programs. He admitted on the Dopey podcast to staying sober just long enough to get released. He convinced his parents to trust him over the professionals. He engineered the arrangement that put him in their guesthouse instead of a supervised facility.

The options Rob and Michele had? Let him go to the streets. Hope he gets arrested. Become an untrained institution in their own home. Or fight for years to get a conservatorship that has to be renewed annually.

They chose to keep him close. They were 78 and 70. They weren't trained for this. And according to reports, they were terrified.

This is happening to families across America right now. The system tells them to set boundaries while their child spirals. Then we act shocked when tragedy strikes.

Nick's accountability is coming. But the system that failed his parents deserves scrutiny too.
