Rob Reiner Son Nick — Family Abandons His Defense

Rob Reiner Son Nick — Family Abandons His Defense

The Nick Reiner murder case reached a new turning point when siblings Jake and Romy Reiner — children of the late Rob and Michele Singer Reiner — officially distanced themselves from Nick's defense following his not guilty plea on February 23rd, 2026.

Nick Reiner, 32, faces two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances in the December 14th, 2025 stabbing deaths of his parents at their Brentwood, California home. He is held without bail. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office has not ruled out the death penalty. His next hearing is April 29th, 2026.

Sources with direct knowledge told TMZ that Jake and Romy no longer plan to fund a private defense attorney — and that they will not attend the trial. The family had previously hired prominent defense attorney Alan Jackson, who withdrew in January citing circumstances he said were legally and ethically impossible to disclose. Public defender Kimberly Greene is now Nick's sole legal representation. In more than two months of incarceration, she is reportedly the only person who has visited him.

True Crime Today's Tony Brueski examines the legal and personal implications of the family's decision, and places it alongside three high-profile cases where families made the same impossible choice: Peter Lanza after Sandy Hook, the family of Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof, and Kerri Rawson — daughter of BTK killer Dennis Rader — who processed her grief in a memoir that reframed what it means to love someone who turns out to be capable of something monstrous.

With the death penalty on the table and a preliminary hearing to be scheduled April 29th, the Reiner case is far from over. But for Jake and Romy, it may already be.
