"Nick Reiner, who's charged with the murder of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, was previously under a yearlong conservatorship in 2020, according to the New York Times. Licensed fiduciary Steven Baer, who was appointed as the conservator for Nick, said to the Times that mental illness "is an epidemic that is widely misunderstood, and this is a horrible tragedy.""
"The Los Angeles Superior Court confirmed the conservatorship ended in 2021. Nick faces two counts of murder for the killing of his parents on December 14 and faces the maximum possible life sentence or the death penalty."
"Earlier this month, Nick's lawyer Alan Jackson withdrew from the case and he's now represented by public defender Kimberly Greene. He's currently at the mental-health unit in the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles."
