Nick Reiner made his first court appearance on 17 December on two counts of first-degree murder in the killing of his parents.
Wearing a suicide prevention smock and shackles, the 32-year-old did not enter a plea as he appeared from behind the glass wall of a custody area.
He spoke only to say, “yes, your honour” to agree to the date of his next court appearance.
The appearance was abruptly
cut short on when the judge postponed the
arraignment for three weeks at the request of the defence as he was not medically cleared in time.
His lawyer, Alan Jackson, did not specify what medical issue may have prevented the hearing, saying only that it was a “procedural” matter.
Speaking outside the court, Jackson called on the public not to “rush to judgement”.
He pointed to “complex and serious issues that are associated with this case” that needed to be thoroughly and “very carefully dealt with and examined”.
He added that it was a “devastating tragedy that has befallen the Reiner family”.
