Nick Reiner is not going to Death Row.
Los Angeles prosecutors will not seek the death penalty for Reiner in the killing of his parents, Rob and Michelle Reiner.
The prosecutor’s office indicated that they took into account the feelings of Reiner’s siblings, who asked for leniency because of Nick’s past mental illness and drug use.
The District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said in a press conference ahead of a hearing in the case that the decision was made after “a rigorous review, where we look at the aggravating factors as well as the mitigating factors.”
Nick Reiner still faces a maximum 33 year life sentence with no parole if convicted.
