Death Penalty Denied in Reiner Case | Los Angeles News

Nick Reiner, 32, won’t face the death penalty in the chilling case of his parents’ murder — prosecutors have dropped capital charges after reviewing mitigating factors and family input. Though initially eligible for life without parole under California’s special circumstances, the DA’s office concluded he’ll serve a maximum sentence of life behind bars if convicted. Reiner remains silent on guilt or innocence, with his defense team now led by a public defender after his original attorney withdrew under undisclosed circumstances. The trial ahead will center solely on whether he’s guilty — no more death penalty options. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
