The case against Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old accused of murdering his parents Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, just took another dark turn. New reports reveal that Reiner was disciplined this past April after becoming“extremely hostile”during a jail shower incident at the LA County Twin Towers Correctional Facility.
According to jail records, deputies were delayed in responding to Reiner after his shower because they were dealing with another inmate suffering an overdose. Reiner allegedly screamed profanities, refused to follow commands, and created what was described as a“verbal disturbance.”He was written up for his behavior and lost phone, visitation, and commissary privileges for five days as punishment.
Even more concerning? Sources close to the situation say Reiner’s mental state is“rapidly deteriorating.”He is currently being held alone in a medical observation unit. One source told reporters,“No one would recognize him. He is like a babbling child, totally out of it.”Reiner faces a possible death sentence or life in prison if convicted. What do you think — is this a sign of a mental breakdown or just jailhouse drama?
