Nick Reiner, currently detained on charges of double homicide, has initiated civil litigation to secure access to a trust fund established by his deceased parents.

目前因涉嫌雙重謀殺而被拘留的 Nick Reiner，已啟動民事訴訟，以求獲准使用由其已故父母設立的信託基金。

The criminal proceedings originate from the December 2025 deaths of director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner, who succumbed to sharp-force injuries at their Brentwood residence. Nick Reiner, 32, was apprehended shortly thereafter and has entered a plea of not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder. While the prosecution alleges the events followed a verbal altercation at a social gathering, and sources indicate prior adjustments to the defendant's psychiatric medication, the judiciary has maintained a seal on autopsy details and motive specifications. The District Attorney's office has not yet determined if the death penalty will be sought.

此刑事訴訟源於 2025 年 12 月導演 Rob Reiner 與攝影師 Michele Singer Reiner 在其 Brentwood 住所身亡，死因為利器創傷。32 歲的 Nick Reiner 在此後不久被捕，並對兩項一級謀殺指控提出不認罪抗辯。雖然檢方指稱事件發生於一次社交聚會的口角之後，且有消息指出被告先前調整過精神科藥物，但法院目前封鎖了屍檢詳情與動機規範。地方法院檢察官辦公室尚未決定是否尋求死刑。

Parallel to the criminal matter, a probate petition was filed in Los Angeles County court regarding a 1993 trust. The petitioner asserts that the trust, valued at a minimum of $1.5 million, contains non-discretionary mandates requiring a 50% distribution upon his 30th birthday and the remainder at age 35. The petition alleges that the current trustee, Paul R. Kanin, has withheld these funds based on unsubstantiated claims regarding the petitioner's competence. It is further contended that this withholding constitutes an abuse of discretion, as the petitioner requires these assets for the procurement of basic hygiene supplies and the retention of private legal counsel.

與刑事案件平行，洛杉磯郡法院收到了一份關於 1993 年信託的遺產承辦請願。請願人主張該信託價值至少 150 萬美元，包含非酌情決定之指令，要求在其 30 歲生日時分配 50%，餘額則在 35 歲時分配。請願書指稱現任信託管理人 Paul R. Kanin 根據關於請願人能力的未經證實之主張，扣留了這些資金。請願人進一步主張，由於其需要這些資產來採購基本衛生用品及聘請私人法律顧問，此扣留行為構成濫用酌情權。

Regarding legal representation, a rapprochement with former attorney Alan Jackson is contingent upon the availability of these funds. Jackson previously withdrew from the case after an initial funding agreement with the petitioner's siblings, Jake and Romy Reiner, was rescinded. Consequently, the defendant is currently represented by the Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office. The petition emphasizes that the presumption of innocence should entitle the defendant to utilize his lawful resources to mount an effective defense.

關於法律代表，與前任律師 Alan Jackson 的恢復合作取決於這些資金是否可用。Jackson 先前在與請願人之兄妹 Jake 和 Romy Reiner 的初步資金協議被撤銷後退出了本案。因此，被告目前由洛杉磯郡公設辯護人辦公室代表。請願書強調，無罪推定應使被告有權利用其合法資源以進行有效辯護。

The defendant remains incarcerated pending a preliminary hearing in September, while the court deliberates on the requested release of trust assets.

被告目前仍被監禁，等待 9 月的初步聆訊，而法院正就所請求的信託資產發放進行審議。
