Rob Reiner, who played Michael Stivic in 1970s sitcom All in the Family, went on to direct films including Stand By Me, A Few Good Men and When Harry Met Sally. His wife, Michele Singer Reiner, was a photographer, and they were found dead in their Brentwood, California, home Sunday afternoon. Nick Reiner was taken into custody Sunday evening. His Tuesday appearance was postponed because medical reasons prevented him from being transported from jail to the courthouse, according to the Associated Press.
Alan Jackson, a well-known defense attorney, has been hired to represent Nick Reiner, the son of actor and director Rob Reiner and photographer and film producer Michele Singer. Jackson has a notable career in high-profile cases. Rob Reiner and Michele were found stabbed to death inside their Brentwood home on Sunday. Nick Reiner is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in their deaths, with the special circumstance of multiple murders.
