Nick Reiner seeks access to $1.5M parental trust to fund murder-defense

Nick Reiner, Rob Reiner’s son, has petitioned a Los Angeles court to release at least $1.5 million from a trust his parents established for him, saying he needs the funds to mount his defense in the killings of his father and mother; the trustee has declined to disclose the exact amount and has raised concerns about his competence, with the case advancing toward a September pretrial and potential death-penalty consideration.
