Los Angeles prosecutors have filed murder charges against Nick Reiner for the deaths of his parents, Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele.
Nick Reiner is facing two counts of first-degree murder with a special circumstance alleging multiple murders, District Attorney Nathan Hochman said.
He could face life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty if convicted. He will appear in court to formally face the charges and plead guilty after being approved by prison officials.
The charges came two days after the couple was found dead in their home in Brentwood, California, with multiple stab wounds.
The charges also include a "specific allegation" that Reiner used a knife.
During a press conference on Tuesday, Hochman said a decision had not yet been made on whether prosecutors would seek the death penalty.
Rob Reiner directed a number of iconic films across a range of genres, including "This is Spinal Tap," "Misery" and "A Few Good Men."
Michele Singer Reiner was an actress, photographer, and producer, as well as the founder of Reiner Light, a photography agency and production company.
