The son is suspected of the Hollywood murders – risks the death penalty
Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found dead in their home in Los Angeles on Sunday. Their son, Nick Reiner, was arrested later that day and is now suspected of murdering his parents. If convicted, he faces the death penalty, District Attorney Nathan Hochman has now said at a press conference. The incident is said to have been preceded by a loud brawl at a Christmas party at comedian Conan O’Brien’s, and traces of blood were later found in a hotel room where Nick Reiner had checked in. Nick has previously been open about his drug addiction and has undergone treatment several times since his teenage years.

Women are suing dating app Hinge
Six women have sued the dating app Hinge and its parent company Match Group after being raped by Stephen Matthews, who was sentenced last year to one hundred and fifty-eight years in prison. The women say Hinge ignored warnings about Matthews and allowed him to continue using the app, leading to more abuse between 2019 and 2023. According to attorney Carrie Goldberg, this was a corporate choice and not a mistake, and the victims are now demanding accountability for what they call a catastrophic failure of basic security. Match Group says it is working to strengthen security and protect its users.
