Nick Reiner has been indicted on murder charges in the killings of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner , inside their Brentwood home last year.
On Wednesday, Nick Reiner pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder with the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder by means of lying in wait, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said. He also faces a special allegation that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon, a knife.
The grand jury, which had been meeting in secret, returned the indictment on July 20. The grand jury indictment is a major step toward trial and allows prosecutors to skip California's preliminary hearing process, where evidence is publicly aired.
CBS LA has reached out to Nick Reiner's public defender, Kimberly Greene, and a representative for the family.
Rob, 78, and Michele, 70, were found dead inside their Brentwood home on Dec. 14 by their daughter, Romy Reiner, according to multiple sources. The LA County Medical Examiner's Office said the couple died of "multiple sharp force injuries."
