Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of Hollywood director Rob Reiner, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the stabbing deaths of his parents. Reports from TMZ and NBC News indicate that Reiner had a history of drug addiction and a prior diagnosis of schizophrenia. Legal analysts suggest the defense is preparing an insanity plea, which could potentially allow the defendant to collect an inheritance despite the crime.
A report in the Daily Mail alleged that a loud altercation involving Nick Reiner occurred at a Christmas party hosted by Conan O'Brien at a private restaurant. Witnesses reportedly wanted to call 911, but O'Brien allegedly discouraged the call to handle the matter privately. Following the fracas, Nick Reiner reportedly stayed behind to confront other guests before the fatal incident at his parents' home.
