All eyes will be on Nick Reiner on Tuesday when he returns to court for the latest proceedings in his criminal case.
Nick faces accusations he killed his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner.
He was charged with two counts of murder and included special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and lying in wait after a grand jury indictment. Prosecutors also alleged he used a knife.
"This was a profound betrayal by someone who was loved and trusted by the very people he is accused of killing," Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said at the time.

Prosecutors claimed Nick fatally stabbed his father, 78, and mother, 70, on Dec. 14, 2025, at their Brentwood home.
As his trial moves forward, Nick has demanded access to his trust fund after he was allegedly blocked from a massive payout that would have funded his decision to hire top-notch celebrity attorney Alan Jackson.

Months after Nick was put behind bars in connection to the murder of his parents , he filed a petition arguing that the person appointed to oversee his $1. 5 million trust has unlawfully withheld funds that are already legally his. Nick insisted he needed the trust money to pay for criminal defense counsel and basic necessities while incarcerated.
Jackson, who previously represented Karen Read , began working on the case immediately after Nick's arrest, but the representation collapsed when anticipated family funding failed to materialize. In a declaration, Jackson said his firm remained willing to return if funding became available, including through alternative fee arrangements.

Los Angeles Fire Department officials responded to a Brentwood-area home at around 3: 30 p. m. on Dec. 14, where two bodies were discovered . Officials later confirmed the bodies to be of Rob and his wife, Michele.
"Both victims were found in the master bedroom of the area of the home," LAPD Assistant Police Chief Dominic Choi later confirmed during a LAPD Board of Police Commissioners meeting. Officers then conducted a "thorough search" of the residence and found no additional victims or suspects.
