- Nick Reiner — son of director Rob Reiner — is asking a court to compel trustees to release money from his trust so he can pay for his criminal defense; he has pleaded not guilty and says he needs the funds to mount a defense.
- The filing says his 1993 trust called for payouts at ages 30 and 35 but trustees have withheld the money (the trust is said to hold at least $1.5 million); a high‑profile lawyer who left the case says he'd return if funds are made available.
- The killings of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele remain under investigation, the case is moving slowly with a pretrial hearing in September, and family tensions have emerged as siblings reversed plans to fund counsel.
