Nick Reiner, who was accused of killing his parents, Nick and Michele Reiner, had been in Tower 2's high-observation mental health unit. Here's how he has been spending his days!
Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner's son, Nick Reiner was accused of murdering them. The brutal murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner, sent out ripples through Hollywood, and when it was reported that there might be Nick, their son, behind this, the entire incident remained a shock for everyone.
The incident took place on December 14, 2025, and reports claimed that just the previous night, the trio was at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party, where they had fought with each other, and following this, Nick reportedly took the brutal step of killing the couple. Nick, who has a history of drug addiction, was charged with first-degree murder of his parents, and he was reportedly diagnosed with schizophrenia just weeks before he killed his parents. Nick Reiner is currently at Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles. Recently, some information about his time in jail surfaced. So, let's have a look!
As per a report by PEOPLE, Nick Reiner is in Tower 2's mental-health unit, and he is under high observation. If the same report is to be believed, the inmates now have significant mental illness, and they all need to be kept away from each other, as shared by a Los Angeles County sheriff's source. Nick reportedly has his three-time meal, which he prefers to do alone.
On January 7, 2025, he had a hearing, for which he took a break, as shared by sources to PEOPLE. The same sources shared that he was no longer on suicide watch, and the jail has removed the suicide-prevention smock, which he was required to wear all the time. Nick Reiner is still under close observation, and he is being monitored every 15 minutes. The medical evaluation takes place every week, as shared by the sources. Sharing more about Nick's days in jail, the sources told PEOPLE:
"He is still being monitored every 15 minutes and is being recorded when he exits his cell to go to court or for evaluations or other necessary requirements. He is also evaluated each week by our medical professionals like psychiatrists on staff but he did not see one after court.”
As the new details have been emerging, in a sudden twist, Alan Jackson, Nick Reiner's attorney, resigned, and he won't be representing Reiner. This step by him sparked gossip and raised eyebrows. On January 7, 2026, he confirmed that he had stepped down from his position and revealed that legal and ethical restrictions were the reason that he wouldn't elaborate on the circumstances of his sudden step.
Following this, during a press conference, Alan said that his decision to step down was not from a lack of confidence, but his team's investigation had earlier pointed out that Nick Reiner was not guilty of murder under California law. Well, it couldn't be confirmed why Alan stepped down or what legal issues led him to do the same. Deputy Public Defender Kimberly Greener will now represent Nick Reiner.
