Reiner’s arraignment was postponed until Jan. 7 at his lawyer’s request. He spoke only to say “yes, your honour” to agree to the date.After the hearing, Nick Reiner’s attorney Alan Jackson called the case “a devastating tragedy that has befallen the Reiner family.” He said the proceedings will be very complex.
“And we ask that during this process you allow the system to move forward in the way that it was designed to move forward,” Jackson said outside the courthouse. “Not with a rush to judgment, not with jumping to conclusions.”
Jackson declined to answer shouted questions from dozens of reporters surrounding him.
Nick Reiner was charged Tuesday with killing the 78-year-old actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, law enforcement officials announced yesterday at a news conference.
