32岁的Nick Reiner 在12月14日 其父母Rob和Michele Reiner 在洛杉矶家中死亡时 面临两起一级谋杀罪 Nick Reiner, 32, faces two counts of first-degree murder in the December 14 deaths of his parents, filmmakers Rob and Michele Reiner, in their Los Angeles home. 他没有保释,由律师Alan Jackson代理。 He is held without bail and represented by attorney Alan Jackson. 法律专家说,根据加利福尼亚州的法律,精神错乱的辩护不可能成功,因为加利福尼亚州的法律要求证明被告无法理解他们的行为或区分对错。 Legal experts say an insanity defense is unlikely to succeed under California law, which requires proving the defendant couldn’t understand their actions or distinguish right from wrong—a high bar rarely met. 虽然Reiner的药物滥用和心理健康斗争历史可能被用来挑战预谋,有可能将指控减为二级谋杀或过失杀人,但这种辩护并不常见,而且常常遭到陪审团的拒绝。 While Reiner’s history of substance abuse and mental health struggles may be used to challenge premeditation, potentially reducing charges to second-degree murder or manslaughter, such defenses are uncommon and often rejected by juries. 审判将分两个阶段进行,心理健康评估将在制定国防战略方面发挥关键作用。 The trial will follow a two-phase process, and mental health evaluations will play a key role in shaping the defense strategy.
