A disturbing clip of Nick Reiner from 2016 has surfaced as he stands accused of murdering his parents, director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele. The Stand By Me director and his spouse were found murdered in their Brentwood, Los Angeles home on December 14, and the LAPD soon took Nick into custody.
The autopsy report has confirmed that their injuries were consistent with a stabbing attack, noting they died from ‘multiple sharp force injuries.’
Now, a video from almost a decade back shows Nick, 32, pretending to do drugs and jokingly claim he's going to kill a dog.

The video also shows Nick smoking, as he asks ‘where’d you get this weed?'. The screenwriter behind the semi-autobiographical Being Charlie, has been public about his drug use. Later, the clip shows white powder being arranged on a tray to look like drugs, as Nick pretends to snort it.
During the video, Nick also raps, “And I don’t even care if anyone calls me a Sally because I’m a snail and I’m never gonna f—king fail and you know, you’re gonna have to bail me outta jail.” He's currently being held in a LA lockup.
