LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nick Reiner pleaded not guilty Monday to two counts of first-degree murder in the killing of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.

Nick Reiner’s attorney, Deputy Public Defender Kimberly Greene, entered the plea on his behalf as he stood behind glass in a custody area of a packed Los Angeles courtroom.

Reiner, 32, the third of Rob Reiner’s four children, has been held without bail since his arrest hours after the actor-director and his wife of 36 years were found dead with stab wounds on Dec. 14 at their home in the upscale Brentwood section of Los Angeles.

Reiner appeared in court in an enclosed custody area with his head shaved and wearing brown jail clothes. He talked to his lawyer briefly before the judge began the brief hearing. He spoke only to answer yes to a question from the judge. He was not wearing the suicide prevention smock he wore in his first court appearance in December.

While I am ambivalent about Meathead's demise, you do have to wonder whether he'd still be alive and whining had he put down Twitter long enough to actually be a parent.

Instead he raised a violent anti-social junkie. Which, in turn, brings up the inevitable question: if Meathead Jr is a violent anti-social junkie, what's his DU handle?

It's not uncommon for a defendant's initial plea to be not guilty. It gives their legal team time to review evidence and also a bargaining position to start trying to work out a plea deal with a prosecutor.

I'm not a Meathead fan but it is really sad that they were murdered by their own son.

     I think the Not Guilty plea means that someone else did it, and I'm pretty sure it's TSF. /DU
