Emotionless Nick Reiner pleads not guilty to brutal murder of parents Rob and Michele Reiner

A sunken-faced Nick Reiner pled not guilty to the murder of his famous parents, Rob and Michele Reiner in their $20 million Brentwood mansion.

Reiner, wearing a brown jumpsuit with his hands and legs shackled was only in court for the arraignment for a few minutes as he entered his not guilty plea Monday. The Reiner’s youngest child only spoke once during the hearing, saying “yes” when the judge asked if he was OK with his next court date.

Reiner mostly stared straight ahead during the hearing, at one point, an unidentified woman waved to the alleged murderer as he walked out of the courtroom. The woman was then escorted down a private elevator.

Reiner’s arraignment had previously been postponed. The first was when hotshot lawyer Alan Jackson entered the case and wanted more time to talk with his client.

Jackson then dropped out of the case in court seven days later, that move further derailed a plea and put Greene in the driver’s seat as head attorney on the case.

The Dec. 14 murders of Rob and Michelle Reiner shocked Hollywood to its core. Nick Reiner was arrested the day after the bloody bodies were discovered.

He’s been locked up in LA’s county jail with no bail ever since his arrest in December.
