A grand jury has issued a new indictment against Nick Reiner alleging he lay in wait before killing his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, a special circumstance that makes him eligible for the death penalty. District Attorney Hochman described the killings as a profound betrayal by someone who was loved and trusted by the people he is accused of killing. Reports note the family's public grief and, according to some accounts, Nick Reiner's prior struggles with drug addiction and erratic behavior before the killings.
