Nick Reiner during his arraignment in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Feb. 23 in Los Angeles. A petition filed by the 32-year-old Nick Reiner's civil attorneys in a Los Angeles County court on Monday says that trustees overseeing the funds have denied them to him without legal justification, and he needs and should get them now. Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of late Hollywood director Rob Reiner, has petitioned a Los Angeles County court to release funds from a trust his parents established for him, arguing he needs the money to mount a defense against charges that he killed them.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported the story as "US-NEWS-REINER-SON-GET." PBS NewsHour reported the story as "Rob Reiner's son Nick seeks money from trust parents left him for his defense in their killings." Washington Times reported the story as "Nick Reiner seeks access to $1.5M trust fund to pay for defense in parents' murder case."
