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.
Yep. And if he’d killed the sister? I’m not convinced there would be much advocacy compared to grasping at surviving while leaving the system to do its thing. And if that situation is too different, then there’s this from another poster:
You seem like someone that has strong views on this biased towards rehabilitation. I think in general there is too much incarceration instead of rehabilitation but I know I’m ignorant in cases like this. We’re lacking a lot of information and the son obviously needed treatment and was avoiding it but I’m wondering if you’re aware of statistics of rehabilitation in cases kind of like this: a bit more extreme and don’t seem like short sighted mistakes with paths towards rejoining society without being a risk. Obviously there inhumane and more humane, but in thinking about a reply to you I became curious about how effective interventions can be for more extreme cases
