Nick Reiner allegedly lay in wait before killing his parents, new indictment says
Nick Reiner, son of director Rob Reiner, now faces a special circumstance allegation of lying in wait before killing his parents. Prosecutors said this "profound betrayal" could make him eligible for the death penalty, though it's currently halted in California. He entered not guilty pleas on Wednesday for two murder charges and is also accused of using a knife in the killings.
