Nick Reiner’s attorney Alan Jackson said his client will not be in court Tuesday for medical reasons. Jackson told reporters outside the courthouse that he did not know what the medical issue was, but he said Reiner will not appear before Wednesday.
Prosecutors are set to decide whether and how to charge the 32-year-old, who is being held in jail without bail. He was arrested several hours after his parents were found dead in their home in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles on Sunday, police said.
Rob Reiner was the Emmy-winning star of the sitcom “All in the Family” who went on to direct films including “When Harry Met Sally...” and “The Princess Bride.” He was an outspoken liberal activist for decades. Michele Singer Reiner was a photographer, movie producer and advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. They had been married for 36 years.
Representatives for the Reiner family did not respond to requests for comment. Police haven’t said anything about a motive for the killings.
Investigators believe Rob and Michele Singer Reiner died from stab wounds, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
