Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were found dead on Sunday with stab wounds, source close to the family told NBC News.
Prosecutors in California will file murder charges against Nick Reiner, the younger son of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said Tuesday.
Hochman said his office is expected to file two counts of first-degree murder with a special circumstance alleging multiple murders on Tuesday afternoon. Nick Reiner also faces a special allegation that he used a knife in the killings, Hochman told reporters.
Nick Reiner faces a maximum sentence of life without the possibility of parole or the death penalty if convicted, he said.
In theory, if he’s a danger to society his punishment is tailored to minimize any future harm he might inflict on the public, doesn’t really matter what you want
It would actually be pretty whacky if a dangerous criminal could get lenient sentences because the victims were particularly forgiving or something
But that all being said American prisons are the antithesis of justice so there’s really no good answers anyway
Even if he can never be free again, there’s still a spectrum of outcomes for him.
