Jake Reiners First Public Outing Amid Family Turmoil

They include concerns about Reiner's competence that have no bearing on a payout that is mandatory.

Reiner says he should also get the money he was to receive at 35 immediately because his defense and his need for basic necessities in jail require it.

The petition says the trust has at least $1.5 million in assets, but that Kanin will not share the exact amount of its value.

Proceedings in Reiner's murder case are moving slowly. He is scheduled to return to court for a pretrial hearing in September. 

He is eligible for the death penalty, but District Attorney Nathan Hochman has said his office has not yet decided whether to seek it.

Authorities have said nothing about possible motives, and leaks in the case have been virtually nonexistent on both sides. 

A court order has kept most details of the autopsy secret. Many of the most basic questions about the killing remain unanswered publicly.

On the day he left the case, Jackson, speaking outside court, declared adamantly that 'pursuant to the laws of California, Nick Reiner is not guilty of murder.'

In April, Jake Reiner gave his first detailed account of the experience of losing his parents and having his brother at the center of it, calling it 'a living nightmare' that is 'too devastating to comprehend.'

Rob Reiner was a prolific director whose work included some of the most memorable and endlessly watchable movies of the 1980s and '90s. 

His credits included This is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, A Few Good Men and When Harry Met Sally… during the production of which he met photographer Michele Singer. They wed soon after and were married for 36 years.
