The state charges included the aggravating factor of multiple murders, meaning that if #NickReiner is convicted he will face the possibility of #life in #prison without a chance at parole or the #DeathPenalty.

Nick Reiner’s #Lawyer Removes Himself From Case
The announcement delayed the #arraignment of #NickReiner, who is accused of #murder his parents, the Hollywood director #RobReiner & #MicheleSinger Reiner, last month.
