Summary

Nick Reiner back in court today in the murder of his parents. The purpose, to set a date for his preliminary hearing. We have learned that the case will not proceed until September. This is due in part, to nearly two terabytes of discovery that must be provided to the defense. What's more, the autopsy reports of Rob and Michele Reiner, are still not complete more than four months after the murders.

Reiner, 32, charged with killing his parents inside the master bedroom of the family home, is being held at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles. He has pleaded not guilty to the murder charges.

Jake Reiner, the eldest sibling has finally spoken about losing his parents, describing them in an essay as "the most giving people I have ever known," and their murders as "a nightmare."
