Nick Reiner, who is accused of murdering his film director father Rob Reiner and mother Michele at their home in Los Angeles, will be arraigned on January 7, his lawyer Alan Jackson said.
The 32-year-old son of the famous filmmaker has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, after Rob, 78, and Michele, 68, were found dead from apparent stab wounds in their home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, on Sunday.
He has not entered a plea and did not appear in court on Tuesday as expected because of unspecified health reasons, according to Mr Jackson.
Appearing outside the court on Wednesday, Mr Jackson said: “There are very, very complex and serious issues that are associated with this case.”
He added: “We are set for January 7 for an arraignment. That’s the next court date, and that’s all I have to say at this point.
“There may be more at some other point, but today we rest on where we stand procedurally, which is a continuance of arraignment.”
