Overview
- In a New York Times essay, Martin Scorsese remembered Rob and Michele Reiner with personal reflections on their decades-long friendship and Reiner’s work on screen and behind the camera.
- Prosecutors have charged Nick Reiner, 32, with two counts of first-degree murder with special-circumstance and knife-use allegations, and he is being held at Twin Towers Correctional Facility.
- The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner ruled both deaths homicides caused by multiple sharp-force injuries, and the district attorney confirmed a knife was used.
- Legal experts told People that a not‑guilty‑by‑reason‑of‑insanity plea is rarely successful in California, though documented mental‑health issues could factor into arguments over intent or sentencing.
- Family tributes and remembrances continue, with outlets reporting that daughter Romy discovered at least one of the victims and that a memorial service will be announced at a later date.
