According to TMZ, Nick Reiner will plead not guilty in the murder of his parents.
TMZ has more:
Nick Reiner was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and in the weeks leading up to the murder of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, the meds he was taking made him 'erratic and dangerous' ... TMZ has learned.
Two sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Nick was under the care of a psychiatrist for mental illness. We're told in the month before the murders, Nick's behavior had gotten 'alarming.'
A source told TMZ that after his meds were changed, "Nick was out of his head." The source also mentioned that his drug abuse had worsened with the schizophrenia.
On Sunday afternoon, Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were found stabbed to death in their Los Angeles home. Their son, Nick, was taken into custody and is being held on $4-million bail.
To add some very bitter icing to the cake, reports are coming out that the fight began at former late night host Conan O'Brien's holiday party where Conan, reportedly, asked guests not to call 911.
Should Nick plead insanity, as TMZ suggests, and the verdict reflect this, Nick would serve his time in a mental health facility, not prison.
