Nick Reiner may face death penalty.

Rob Reiner‘s son could face death for his parents’ murder or spend the rest of his life behind bars

The L.A. County District Attorney today announced Nick Reiner will be charged with two counts of first degree murder for the alleged killing of his parents. if found guilty, the younger Reiner could face life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

More striking, Nick Reiner could also face the death penalty.

Even though it is rare and unlikely in California, the death penalty is a possibility here because of the “special circumstances” of multiple murders that the DA’s office has added to the claims. The charges are in the process of being filed right now, and the younger Reiner could be arraigned as early as this afternoon or Wednesday.

DA Nathan Hochman revealed that he has not yet made a decision if his prosecutors will seek the death penalty for the younger Reiner, but made clear they could. Hochman added that his team will weigh and listen to the “thoughts and desires of the family” before making that potentially fatal choice.
