I’m watching a live report that Rob Reiner and his wife were stabbed to death in Brentwood and it might’ve been by Rob‘s son. Still waiting for verification.

Rob and Michele Reiner murders latest: New timeline details emerge
Nick Reiner, who is accused of killing his parents, made a brief first appearance in court on Wednesday.abcnews.go.com
I have copied the article below. He waived the right to a speedy arraignment is what it actually says. The arraignment will be 7th Jan.
From the link
Nick Reiner -- who is charged with two counts of first-degree murder with the special circumstance of multiple murders -- made a brief first appearance in court on Wednesday. He appeared quiet and calm, and sat behind the glass and behind his attorney, Alan Jackson -- who helped defend Karen Read in Massachusetts. He spoke briefly when addressed by Jackson or the judge.
The 32-year-old waived the right to a speedy arraignment. The arraignment is set for Jan. 7.

"Our hearts go out to the entire Reiner family," Jackson said after court on Wednesday. "There are very, very complex and serious issues that are associated with this case."

"We ask that during this process, you allow the system to move forward in the way that it was designed ... not with jumping to conclusions, but with restraint and with dignity and with the respect that this system and this process deserves and that the family deserves," Jackson said.

Videos obtained by ABC News appear to show the moments leading up to Nick Reiner's arrest on Sunday night.
One of the videos appears to show Nick Reiner moments before his arrest near the University of Southern California. In the video, he's wearing jeans, a striped jacket and a baseball cap. He's seen with a red backpack slung over one shoulder as he enters a gas station and purchases a drink.
Another video shows him outside walking near a crosswalk when several police vehicles with flashing lights surround him. He can be seen in the video raising his hands.

One that just came onto YT by Brian Entin. I believe he was in the courtroom. He said as I thought, that Jackson said it was too early for his client to enter a plea and so it was postponed, the need to plea. And more.

Yeah the right to a speedy arraignment was waived, exactly. He did not waive the right to plea.Nick Reiner -- who is charged with two counts of first-degree murder with the special circumstance of multiple murders -- made a brief first appearance in court on Wednesday.

So per Entin, Nick was living in a guest house on the Reiner property, not in the main house. More that is new to me in his video above too.

I miss you Oreo.
IDK. You would think of he was autistic it would have been mentioned already. I'm not discounting what you are saying.

TYVM for that information. I didn’t even think about a guest house. But, if they had enough, they certainly could have ordered I'm off the property. I'm leaning towards that's what set him off.

What I read he waived the right to plead guilty or not guilty.

Yeah. Bad reporting seems to happen alot. I had never heard of that happening before
So I am sure you are right.
It’s a stall tactic.

Yeah I saw that in probably the same article but that's not what I've heard from many others. And Jackson (atty) said he needs time before pleading. He just waived speedy arriagnment I suppose because it was they who wanted more time to plea. So yeah, I think they confused that "waiving" with waiving a right to plea.

I did start on some of the movie. A little last night and a bit more this morning. It's an easy watch, pretty good thus far.
I think so too. After his behavior at the party, I think they told him it was time for him to move out and that enraged him. He has said in interviews before that his parents have thrown him out of the guest house and so he destroyed the guest house.

This explains what an arraignment is. Ie it's a formal reading of the charges and a plea from the defendant. So the arraignment was postponed not waived. The article I copy pasted said he waived his right to a speedy arraignment, which was correct and is the same as postponing the arraignment.

yes but the right to a speedy arraignment was waived as they asked for the postponement. Otherwise, arraignment has to take place I believe in a certain amount of time.This explains what an arraignment is. Ie it's a formal reading of the charges and a plea from the defendant.

His attorney is going to go for insanity plea. I have no doubt.

Yeah, I've heard some pretty experienced types talking, that even know Alan Jackson and the prosecutor, etc. but they just don't see much of a defense other than to try the mental health route. They also don't see a plea and I could give more detail on that but gotta go in about 15 minutes to get this thing over with. FINALLY. I'm thirsty as heck.

Yes. I believe everyone is entitled to a speedy arraignment, so they can get bailed quickly. This guy clearly won't be bailed so it was postponed for a month. Not surprising with the holidays coming up.
