Nick Reiner's murder trial has moved from the criminal courtroom into a family trust dispute, after Nick Reiner accused his older brother, Jake Reiner, and younger sister, Romy Reiner, of backing out of an alleged commitment to help fund his defence.
In a probate petition filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, 8 June, the 32-year-old, who has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and producer Michele Singer Reiner, said the reversal left him trying to reach a $1.5 million trust fund so he can rehire his former lawyer, Alan Jackson.
