Nick Reiner Murder Case Still No Autopsies For Rob, Michele
Published
Nick Reiner allegedly butchered his parents back in December … but when he appeared again in court Wednesday, prosecutors revealed the autopsies for Rob and Michele Reiner are not ready yet … four and a half months after their murders.
The hearing was delayed and when Nick was finally brought into the courtroom, he looked thin in his yellow and blue jail jumpsuit.
Nick’s public defender told the judge they were still waiting on discovery … and the next hearing in the case was set for Sept. 15.
Nick briefly spoke to the judge … acknowledging what the judge was telling him about the legal timeline.
As you know … Nick is charged with murdering his parents, who were found brutally stabbed to death in their Brentwood home.
Nick has pleaded not guilty to the charges — which include a special circumstances allegation that puts the death penalty on the table.
He was initially represented by attorney Alan Jackson, but the powerhouse lawyer withdrew from the case back in January. Instead, Nick is now being represented by public defender Kimberly Greene.
Nick has been held without bail at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in L.A. … the same jail D4vd‘s been transferred to after being charged with murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas.
Rob and Michele died from “multiple sharp force injuries” … according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, who said the manner of death was homicide … but an autopsy will reveal more details.

Both coffee and energy drinks can vary in caffeine content.
Moderate caffeine consumption is recommended for reducing the risk to your heart.
Energy drinks have been shown to cause heart problems, but more research is needed.
Coffee and energy drinks are popular options for a quick energy boost. Both caffeinated beverages can support physical endurance, alertness, and reaction time. However, they can also increase heart rate, reduce steadiness, and increase your added sugar intake.
Which One Will Give You More Energy?
Coffee and energy drinks can both range in caffeine content, which can affect their impact on energy levels. Coffee drinks vary in caffeine based on the brew method and bean type, but on average, a cup (8 ounces) of coffee contains about 113-247 milligrams of caffeine.
Standard 16-ounce energy drinks can contain anywhere from 70 to 240 milligrams of caffeine. Concentrated 2-2.5 ounce energy shots pack about 113-200 milligrams of caffeine in a much smaller volume.
It's important to be aware of how much caffeine you’re consuming and check nutrition labels. However, energy drink manufacturers aren’t required to disclose the caffeine content.
Which Has a Greater Impact on Heart Health?
Research shows consuming high levels of caffeine can raise your blood pressure and heart rate, as well as affect your heart’s rhythm. This risk is especially high for children since their cardiovascular and nervous systems aren’t fully developed.
Coffee's effect on heart health is more widely researched than that of energy drinks. Evidence suggests that moderate coffee drinking can support heart health, while heavy consumption increases heart disease risk. How you prepare your coffee also affects the way it impacts your heart. Boiled coffee, like the kind you can make with a French press, can increase your cholesterol levels. High amounts of caffeine can also have negative effects on the heart, so many people with existing heart conditions choose decaf coffee out of caution.
Some case studies show that energy drink consumption can harm heart health, even in young people, but more research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind this. Some of the more severe cases include sudden death from drinking an energy drink.
What Other Ingredients, Besides Caffeine, Can Affect My Health?
Coffee and energy drinks aren’t just pure caffeine. It’s important to consider their other ingredients when thinking about how they can impact your health. Early research suggests some of the cardiovascular effects of coffee and energy drinks may be more related to other ingredients than caffeine.
For example, energy drinks can contain a range of other ingredients, such as guarana (which contains additional caffeine), sugar, B vitamins, and other energy-boosting compounds. Both coffee drinks and energy drinks can contain high amounts of added sugar. Energy drinks can also interact with alcohol and prescription or illicit drugs, causing negative health effects.
Risks of Having Too Much Caffeine
Whether you choose coffee, an energy drink, or another caffeinated drink for your energy boost, it’s important to watch how much caffeine you’re consuming per day. Adults without underlying health conditions should limit their total caffeine intake per day to 400 milligrams. People who are pregnant or breastfeeding should stick to half of that limit, or about 200 milligrams. You can always check with your healthcare provider about your individual health status and their recommendations for your caffeine levels.
