Nick Reiner, who is accused of killing his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, in their home in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
But the attorney representing him, Alan Jackson, has previously admired the filmmaker’s work, which, in his words, motivated his career.
It was the movie A few good men, on which the deceased director collaborated. The film follows a courtroom drama of “a military lawyer who defends two U.S. Marines accused of murdering another Marine,” starring Jack Nicholson, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Kevin Bacon.
“I’ve seen it so many times and it gives me such a boost,” the Texas-based attorney previously said Vanity fair.
Nick, meanwhile, is facing two charges of first-degree murder, but he has not appeared in court for the proceedings because he has not yet been “medically cleared”, his lawyer told the press.
Additionally, Rob and Michele’s shocking deaths sparked an outpouring of condolences; However, a message from US President Donald Trump about this tragedy sparked a backlash.
In his post on Truth Social, he claimed that the late director suffered from the “mind-numbing disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.
Members of his party, the Republicans, called him out. U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky writes, “Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered.”
“This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies,” wrote U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.
