Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman announced Tuesday that the office has charged Nick Reiner with two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of his parents.

“These charges will be two counts of first-degree murder with the special circumstance of multiple murders,” Hochman said.

‘We are also faced with a specific allegation that he used a dangerous weapon such as a knife.

‘These charges carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.’

Hochman said that authorities “will take into account the family’s thoughts and wishes” when applying for the death penalty for Reiner, but a decision has not yet been made on whether prosecutors will seek this penalty.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said Nick Reiner will appear in court for the first time since receiving medical leave.

“He goes through the medical clearance process, which is something that everyone who is arrested and held in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department jail goes through,” Hochman said at Tuesday’s press conference.

‘He will appear in court on these charges once he is medically cleared. At this point he will confess his guilt or innocence.’

Earlier Tuesday, Nick’s attorney, Alan Jackson, said his client was not medically cleared to be transferred from prison to the courthouse, but did not disclose further details about his condition or the case.

Police said there was no indication that Nick was under the influence of drugs at the time of his arrest.

Reiner allegedly had a checkered history of substance abuse and mental health issues before his arrest and was living in a guest house on his parents’ property.
