Rob Reiner is a US actor and director known for films including This Is Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally and The Princess Bride. Michele Singer Reiner is a photographer and producer, and the couple had been prominent figures in Hollywood for decades. Their son Nick Reiner is an actor and writer.
The case concerns the deaths of both Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner at their home in Brentwood, an affluent neighbourhood in Los Angeles. In US criminal law, an indictment is a formal accusation issued by a grand jury after it considers evidence presented by prosecutors; it does not establish guilt. Murder charges with special circumstances can affect the penalties prosecutors may seek if there is a conviction.
