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.

Nick Reiner seeks to unlock $1.5M trust to fund defense in parents' murder case

Nick Reiner seeks to unlock $1.5M trust to fund defense in parents' murder case

Nick Reiner has filed a petition in Los Angeles to access more than $1.5 million held in a trust his parents left for him, arguing the funds are legally required to be distributed at ages 30 and 35 and are needed to pay for his defense in his parents’ double homicide case. The trust is separate from a larger family estate, and Nick, who has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder, has been unable to fund attorneys or jail commissary, having shifted from a private attorney to a public defender after an initial withdrawal. His lawyers contend withholding the money would be an abuse of the trustee’s discretion and leave him unable to mount a proper defense.
