Nick Reiner will be charged with the double homicide of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman announced the charges Tuesday during a press conference with LAPD Chief Jim McDonell.
"These charges will be two counts of first-degree murder with a special circumstance of multiple murders," Hochman said. "He also faces a special allegation that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon, that being a knife. These charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty."
Nick, 32, was initially scheduled to appear in court Tuesday for the first time, but his lawyer, Alan Jackson, confirmed to Fox News Digital that "he is not medically cleared to be transported to the court."

Nick was transferred Monday to the Twin Towers Correctional Facility, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. He was originally booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center before being transferred to the Inmate Reception Center in Los Angeles, Calif.
Investigators believe Rob and Michele suffered stab wounds, according to a law enforcement official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
A family spokesperson initially confirmed the deaths to Variety, saying, "It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time."
Rob and Michele had three children together: Jake, Nick and Romy.
