Nick Reiner will not face the death penalty if he is convicted for the murder of his parents Rob and Michele Reiner, the Los Angeles county district attorney's office announced.
According to the Guardian, the Los Angeles DA said on Tuesday that his office will not pursue the death penalty.
Hochman told reporters outside the courthouse that the prosecutors had "considered the wishes of Reiner family members and mitigating factors in making their decision."
Reiner has been accused of stabbing his parents resulting in their deaths in their Los Angeles home in December 2025.
The 33-year-old has pleaded not guilty to the two charges of first degree murder.
The charges allege multiple murders as a special circumstance, along with an additional allegation involving the use of a dangerous weapon.
Last month, a grand jury indicted Reiner on two counts of first-degree murder, with prosecutors also alleging that he was lying in wait when the killings occurred.
According to the Guardian, the maximum penalty Reiner can face is life in prison without parole.
