Nick Reiner, accused of murdering his parents Rob and Michele Reiner, filed a petition in Los Angeles County Superior Court to release money from a family trust to pay for his defense.

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.
