Overview
- Reiner, 32, remains in High Observation Housing at the Twin Towers jail without bail, housed alone and closely monitored after removal of a suicide-prevention smock.
- He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court after a brief December appearance in which he waived a speedy arraignment.
- Charges include two counts of first-degree murder with a special-circumstance allegation of multiple murders and a separate allegation of knife use, exposing him to life without parole or capital punishment.
- The medical examiner determined Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner, 70, died of multiple sharp-force injuries, and police arrested their son without incident hours later near USC.
- Law enforcement and media reports describe active review of his mental-health history, with a sheriff source saying doctors found a “mental disability,” as the defense evaluates competency and potential insanity issues.
