Rob and Michele Reiner’s children throw first pitches at Dodgers game honoring late parents

ELYSIAN PARK, LOS ANGELES , Two of Rob and Michele Reiner’s children delivered ceremonial first pitches before Sunday night’s Los Angeles Dodgers game against the Boston Red Sox.

Jake and Romy Reiner threw out the pitches as part of a tribute to their parents, who were found murdered in their Brentwood home last year.

The late director was a lifelong Dodgers fan and a season ticket holder for nearly 60 years.

Director Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer and producer Michele Singer Reiner, were stabbed to death in their home in the upscale Brentwood section of Los Angeles on Dec. 14. The couple’s other son, Nick Reiner, was arrested hours later and has since pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder.

Nick Reiner is seeking unpaid money from a trust his parents established for him, saying he needs it to help in his defense against charges that he killed them.

Proceedings in Nick 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.

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.
