Nick Reiner's family does NOT want to see him face the death penalty. As you know, Nick has been arrested and charged with the December 14 murder of his parents Rob and Michele. He is facing two counts of first-degree murder with a special circumstance alleging multiple murders and a special allegation that he used a knife in the crime. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole - or the death penalty, though it is not clear yet if the DA will be pursuing that. The Reiner family is certainly hoping the authorities do not go that route.
