The indictment was returned to the court on July 20 and unsealed on Wednesday. Nick Reiner , the son of filmmaker Rob Reiner , has been indicted in his and his wife Michele’s murder. A Los Angeles County grand jury indicted Nick and added the allegation that he was lying in wait before attacking them.
Rob Reiner’s prolific Hollywood career
For his performance, he won two Emmy Awards. Nick Reiner was arrested within hours and charged two days later. The grand jury had been meeting in secret for the high-profile case. The grand jury indictment is a major step toward trial and allows prosecutors to skip California’s preliminary hearing process. “This was a profound betrayal by someone who was loved and trusted by the very people he is accused of killing. Rob Reiner, a beloved Hollywood figure, began as an actor, starring in the TV sitcom All in the Family. Later in his career, he became a successful and acclaimed film director whose works include some of the most iconic films of the 80s and 90s, such as This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, A Few Good Men, and When Harry Met Sally. He met his wife, Michele, on the set of When Harry Met Sally, and they were soon married.
Rob Reiner, a director, actor and Hollywood legend, and his wife, a photographer and producer, were stabbed to death in their home in the upscale Brentwood section of Los Angeles on 14 December.
We hope that by having a grand jury return an indictment in this case, it will bring us one step closer to a trial and achieving justice,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said in a statement. Prosecutors have said nothing about possible motives, and leaks in the case have been virtually nonexistent on both sides.
