About this episode
In this episode of The Latest with Loren LoRosa, Loren breaks down the latest developments in the shocking case involving Nick Reiner, who has been charged in connection with the brutal killings of his parents, legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner. Loren walks listeners through what we know so far—from Nick Reiner’s first court appearance and his high-profile defense attorney, Alan Jackson, to new reports alleging long-standing mental health struggles, substance abuse, and a schizophrenia diagnosis. As new legal details emerge, the central question becomes clear: will Nick Reiner plead not guilty by reason of insanity? This episode explores what that defense actually means, the legal burden required to prove it, and how medical records, psychiatric treatment, and expert testimony could shape the outcome. Lauren also discusses the emotional impact on the surviving family, the public scrutiny surrounding the case, and whether an insanity defense is fair—or appropriate—in a crime of this magnitude.
