Reiner seeks parental trust to finance defense as LA murder case advances

Nick Reiner’s lawyers asked a Los Angeles court to access a roughly $1.5 million trust set up by his parents to fund his legal defense in the murder case against them; a trustee previously blocked distributions, arguing the funds remain property of the trust, and Judge Ruben Garcia scheduled an October 23 hearing on the issue, with a September 15 court date also looming for the criminal case and Reiner facing a new lying-in-wait charge as the defense argues time to prepare is running out.

Nick Reiner hit with jail sanctions after combative shower incident

Nick Reiner, the son of Rob Reiner, was disciplined at the Los Angeles County Twin Towers Correctional Facility after an apparently combative shower incident, receiving a disciplinary write-up and losing several inmate privileges for five days; a source said he became 'extremely hostile' toward deputies, yelling profanities while awaiting return to his cell following his shower. Reiner, 32, is jailed on two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances in the stabbing deaths of his parents Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, and while the confrontation did not become physical, backup had to be called to manage the situation.

D4vd murder case advances to trial after judge finds sufficient evidence

A Los Angeles judge ruled there is enough evidence to move forward with the murder case against singer D4vd (David Anthony Burke) in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a 14-year-old whose remains were found in Burke’s Tesla. Prosecutors presented graphic photos and text messages at the preliminary hearing to establish probable cause for trial on charges including first-degree murder, lewd acts with a minor, and mutilation of a body. Burke remains held without bail; a post-preliminary arraignment is set for Aug. 31, with a trial possible about 60 days after that date.

D4vd’s Apple Music Profile Hacked as Murder Case Unfolds

D4vd’s Apple Music artist page was hacked over the weekend, adding a track called I Did It and using a Tesla image; the artist, real name David Anthony Burke, is jailed on murder and sexual abuse charges involving a 14-year-old girl named Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The track appears to be a version of an unreleased song called Celeste and has since been removed. The incident sits within a broader pattern of fake or AI-generated tracks impersonating artists on streaming platforms, with platforms like Spotify expanding protections to curb such impersonations.

The case includes numerous explicit images; the hearing is to determine probable cause, not guilt, and Burke maintains innocence.

Erving Family Seeks Murder Charges in Dallas Lake Death as Teens Face Evidence-Tampering Allegations

An 18-year-old swimmer, Daniel Erving, drowned at Lake Ray Hubbard near Dallas.

Erving’s mother, with Ben Crump serving as counsel for the family, is pushing for murder charges, arguing the death should be investigated as a homicide despite the medical examiner’s ruling that it was an accidental drowning. The case remains open as investigators and prosecutors review new information and the family launches an independent probe.

Michigan Parents Charged with Murder Over 7-Year-Old Son Who Weighed 255 Pounds

A Michigan couple, Damien and Jessica O’Brien, have been charged with second-degree murder and second-degree child abuse in the death of their seven-year-old son, Casper O’Brien, who weighed about 255 pounds (4'2.5”). Authorities say he suffered serious harm and lived in an unsafe, cramped home, lacking regular medical care; he was found in a makeshift bed shared by four family members. An autopsy cited a diet of chips and fries and noted Casper hadn’t seen a pediatrician since early 2024. A second child in the home, a five-year-old girl who is also morbidly obese, was found in troubling conditions. If convicted, the O’Briens could face life in prison.
