Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old accused of murdering his parents, was allegedly involved in a disciplinary incident at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles. Reiner, who is being held in solitary confinement in the facility's specialized medical observation unit, reportedly became "extremely hostile" and "recalcitrant" on April 27 during a shower, according to a source speaking to People.
Sources allege that Reiner grew impatient while waiting to be returned to his cell, as deputies were delayed due to another inmate's overdose. He is described as having been "yelling, screaming, being disrespectful and shouting many profanities" at staff members.
As a result of the incident, Reiner was reportedly written up and had privileges, including commissary access, phone calls, and visitation, rescinded for five days. A supervising officer reportedly reviewed the disciplinary write-up, and Reiner was informed of the punishments and the violation.
Reiner has pleaded not guilty to two charges of first-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of his parents, Michele and Rob Reiner, on December 14, 2025. The couple was found dead at their Brentwood estate, where Nick Reiner resided in the guesthouse. He was reportedly seen arguing with his parents at a Christmas party the evening before their bodies were discovered. IMAGE2
Reiner, who has a history of substance abuse and was reportedly diagnosed with schizophrenia, has been held in solitary confinement since his arrest. A source close to the family recently told the Daily Mail that Reiner has been "rapidly deteriorating" in custody and that his lawyers are finding it difficult to communicate with him.
His legal representation has changed since the beginning of the case. Initially, Reiner was represented by Alan Jackson, who withdrew from the case citing "circumstances beyond our control." He is now represented by public defender Kimberly Greene.
Reiner's preliminary hearing is scheduled for September 15. If convicted, he faces a potential sentence of life in prison without parole or the death penalty. IMAGE4 IMAGE3 IMAGE5
