Los Angeles County district attorney Nathan Hochman starts the news conference by announcing that charges will be filed against Nick Reiner.
“These charges will be two counts of first degree murder with a special circumstance of multiple murders,” he says.
“He also faces a special allegation that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon, that being a knife.”
‘No decision’ on death penalty
Hochman explains that the charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole and the death penalty.
“No decision at this point has been made with respect to the death penalty,” he adds.
He goes on to insist that the charges are not evidence.
“Evidence is something that we will be presenting in a court of law to meet the standard of proof,” he says.
“Once the charges get files this afternoon, Nick Reiner will be brought to court. He is going through medical clearance.”
