Standing before Judge Theresa McGonigle on Wednesday to face two counts of first-degree murder, Nick Reiner didn't look like a man weighing the gravity of life in prison. He just smirked. The 32-year-old's disturbingly calm attitude was hard to miss, even as his legal defence completely fell apart in the middle of the hearing.
It was a jarring scene, especially considering the hole he is now in. The son of Hollywood icon Rob Reiner is no longer protected by the top-tier legal team he started with, and his reaction in the courtroom stood in weird contrast to the reality crashing down on him.
