Nick Reiner's 5 Best Defenses in Parents' Disturbing Murders

Nick Reiner, 32, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, as prosecutors outline evidence including surveillance footage, a hotel room with reported blood, and his arrest hours later. Legal analysts are now examining possible defenses, including insanity, diminished capacity due to schizophrenia or substance abuse, lack of premeditation, self-defense, or mitigation based on mental health history. Defense attorneys may also attempt to suppress key evidence as the case moves toward Reiner’s January arraignment in a rapidly developing and high-stakes prosecution. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber analyzes five possible defense tactics Nick Reiner’s team may use in court with former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani.
