On February 23, Nick Reiner appeared at the Los Angeles Superior Court, where his lawyer entered a plea of not guilty to the brutal murder of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, late last year. Dressed in a brown, jail-issued jumpsuit and sporting a shaved head and facial hair, the 32-year-old sat behind a glass wall and smiled briefly at his attorney when she approached him. He spoke only once, responding "yes" when Judge Theresa R. McGonigle asked whether he understood he was waiving his right to a speedy trial.
