"Nick Reiner had been prescribed medication for schizophrenia at some point before he allegedly killed his parents, Hollywood legend Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Reiner, according to two sources with knowledge of the investigation. It is unclear the name of the drug and how long he had been prescribed it. No other details were available. The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly."
"Reiner, 32, was charged with two counts of murder on Tuesday, and could face life in prison or the death penalty if convicted. Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman said that no decision had been made on seeking capital punishment in the Reiners' slayings. Such reviews normally take months. A judge approved attorney Alan Jackson's request Wednesday to continue Reiner's arraignment to Jan. 7. He did not enter a plea."
