The Manhattan District Attorney&#8217;s Office, led by leftist Alvin Bragg, said it would not pursue an assault charge for a 27-year-old man who is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nypd-nabs-27-year-old-after-mamdani-dismissed-mob-targeting-police-as-kids-at-a-snowball-fight?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=NYPD+Nabs+27-Year-Old+After+Mamdani+Dismissed+Mob+Targeting+Police+As+%E2%80%98Kids+At+A+Snowball+Fight%E2%80%99">accused</a> of hurling chunks of snow and ice at New York&#8217;s Finest earlier this week.
Gusmane Coulibaly, who NYPD officers arrested on Thursday, was initially charged with assaulting a police officer after a mob of people surrounded officers at Washington Square Park on Monday and launched snowballs at them. His other charges of obstruction of governmental administration and disorderly conduct were also downgraded. The only charges prosecutors are willing to pursue are harassment and a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of governmental administration, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/02/26/us-news/manhattan-da-ditches-cop-assault-charge-in-case-against-washington-square-park-snowball-fight-miscreant/">reported</a>.
The New York City Police Benevolent Association, a union representing over 50,000 active and retired NYPD officers, blasted the district attorney&#8217;s office over its decision to drop the assault charge for Coulibaly. Patrick Hendry, the president of the union, accused Coulibaly and three other suspects who are still wanted of placing rocks in the snowballs before launching them at police officers.
“So why wasn’t assault charged? Why was harassment charged? Why do they feel that that didn’t cause an injury to a police officer, which he clearly, clearly has an injury below his eye?” Hendry asked.
Two NYPD officers were treated at the hospital for lacerations to their faces after they were hit with the snowballs.
Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Victoria Notaro told the court that prosecutors would have a difficult time proving that Coulibaly was responsible for the minor injuries to the officers, according to the Post.
Thursday&#8217;s arrest over the snowball ambush was Coulibaly&#8217;s second run-in with law enforcement this month. The NYPD said that the 27-year-old man was arrested &#8220;less than three weeks ago for attempted robbery in the transit system.&#8221;

The decision from the district attorney&#8217;s office to drop the assault charge comes after New York City democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/it-was-a-snowball-fight-mamdani-downplays-unruly-mob-that-injured-nypd-officers">downplayed</a> the mob&#8217;s actions, saying earlier this week, “I can just tell you from the video I saw it looked like kids at a snowball fight.”
Mamdani&#8217;s office told The Daily Wire on Thursday that the mayor does not believe any action during Monday&#8217;s snowball ambush of police officers &#8220;rises to the level of criminal charges.&#8221;
&#8220;As the mayor has said, police officers deserve to be treated with respect. The videos he saw showed a snowball fight that got out of hand,&#8221; Mamdani spokeswoman Dora Pekec said.
The mayor&#8217;s stance on the incident is at odds with other New York officials, including the city&#8217;s Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch and New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul. Tisch called the mob&#8217;s actions &#8220;criminal,&#8221; while Hochul said it is “never acceptable to throw anything at a police officer.”

New York City&#8217;s democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani put himself at odds with other city and state officials, including Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch and New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul, when he told reporters he disagreed with calls for arrests following the snowball attack.
The mayor urged people to treat the city’s law enforcement with respect, but added that the videos he saw of the incident only showed a snowball fight that &#8220;got out of hand.&#8221;
“Look, I’ve seen the videos of this snowball fight. I think that it was a snowball fight,&#8221; he said, later adding, “I can just tell you from the video I saw it looked like kids at a snowball fight.”
Mamdani&#8217;s office doubled down on the mayor&#8217;s stance on Thursday, with Mamdani spokeswoman Dora Pekec telling The Daily Wire, “As the mayor has said, police officers deserve to be treated with respect. The videos he saw showed a snowball fight that got out of hand. He does not believe this situation rises to the level of criminal charges.”
The incident took place after a massive storm dumped around two feet of snow on New York City and brought much of the Big Apple to a standstill on Monday.
One video of the incident shows officers attempting to walk through the crowd as people slung snowballs at them and ran up behind them to dump large chunks of snow and ice on their heads. Some people in the crowd stood in front of the officers as they tried to walk through the park, and the officers threw at least two people to the ground. Another video showed a group of police officers fleeing the scene as the crowd continued to hurl snowballs at them. Two officers were treated at the hospital for lacerations on their faces.
Tisch called the mob’s actions “disgraceful” and “criminal,&#8221; while Hochul said it is &#8220;never acceptable to throw anything at a police officer.&#8221;
The NYPD Police Benevolent Association celebrated the arrest of Coulibaly on Thursday and blasted Mayor Mamdani, <a href="https://x.com/NYCPBA/status/2027018775321559211">writing</a> on social media, &#8220;A 27-year-old is not a &#8216;kid,&#8217; @NYCMayor.&#8221;
&#8220;This individual is an adult with a recent attempted robbery arrest, and your message was that it’s OK for him to assault police officers for doing their job,&#8221; the police union added. &#8220;This arrest sends a different message. We’re grateful to all who have worked so hard on this case. There is more work to be done…&#8221;

Newly released footage shows former WWE executive Vince McMahon crashing his Bentley Continental GT while traveling over 100 mph in 2025.
The video taken from a police officer&#8217;s dash cam shows McMahon speeding down a Connecticut highway on July 24 of that year. McMahon’s car can be seen clipping the BMW driving in front of him before pulling over and being confronted by law enforcement.
“Why were you driving all over 100 mph?” state police Detective Maxwell Robins asked McMahon, 80,  after approaching the wrecked Bentley on the side of Merritt Parkway in Westport. 
“I got my granddaughter’s birthday,” McMahon said in response. 
“You almost hit, I think, 115 miles per hour… I’m trying to catch up to you, and you keep taking off,” Robins said.
“No, no no. I’m not trying to outrun you,” McMahon insisted in the video. The officer next asked McMahon if he was looking at his phone, which he denied.
Robins told McMahon that his car is fast, prompting McMahon to agree, “Yeah, too (expletive) fast.”

There were no injuries from the crash, but another car traveling in the opposite direction was struck by debris. The driver of that car was coincidentally wearing a WWE shirt, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/vince-mcmahon-car-crash-connecticut-bc0da67100a55adf1a8c8acc8ae7139b">reported</a>. In another strange twist, WWE legend Hulk Hogan died of a heart attack on the same day of the crash.
McMahon was charged with reckless driving and following too closely. He entered a pretrial probation program, which allowed him to have the charges erased, plus was ordered to make a $1,000 charitable contribution.
“Not every car accident is a crime,” the WWE exec’s lawyer said of the incident. “Vince’s primary concern during this case was for the other drivers and is appreciative that the court saw this more of an accident than a crime that needed to be prosecuted.”
McMahon stepped down as WWE’s CEO in 2022 following sexual misconduct allegations from a former employee, which he denied. The lawsuit is ongoing.

Agreements between local law enforcement agencies and Immigration and Customs Enforcement have surged 950% in President Donald Trump&#8217;s first year in office, according to a new report by the advocacy organization FWD.US.
Under the Biden administration, there were 135 such agreements. Now, there are 1,168 as of Jan. 26, according to the report.
The Trump administration has openly called on local police and sheriff&#8217;s departments to participate in its recently revived &#8220;task force&#8221; program that deputizes officers, giving them the authority to stop and arrest suspected illegal immigrants, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/agreements-allow-local-police-work-ice-skyrocket-rcna258787" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to NBC News.
And local police officers have been jumping at the opportunity to train to assist in Trump&#8217;s mass deportation effort.
The Obama administration ended the program in 2012 after officers in Maricopa County, Arizona, and Alamance County, North Carolina, were accused of racial profiling while participating in the model.

Trump restarted the program after reentering the White House for his second term and receiving a flood of cash from his &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill.&#8221;
With that funding, ICE is offering local law enforcement agencies $7,500 for equipment per trained officer; $100,000 for new vehicles and overtime pay of up to 25% of an officer’s salary, according to NBC. As a result, participating police departments could cash in to the tune of $1.4 billion and $2 billion this year.
“This amount would dwarf all other federal funding for local law enforcement,” the FWD.US report found.
Police agencies in 39 states have entered into agreements with ICE thus far, according to FWD.US, which regularly <a href="https://x.com/FWDus/status/2022426899952341151" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advocates</a> against Trump&#8217;s deportation campaign and ICE&#8217;s &#8220;brutality and violence.&#8221;
Florida has 342 participating agencies, the most of any state. Texas is a close second with 296 agreements, followed by Tennessee with 63, Pennsylvania with 58, and Alabama with 53, according to the report.
&#8220;The Program enhances the safety and security of our nation’s communities by allowing ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) to partner with state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies to identify and remove criminal aliens who are amenable to removal from the United States. ICE recognizes the importance of its relationships with law enforcement partners—including state, local, and tribal agencies—to carry out its critical mission,&#8221; ICE states on its website.
&#8220;Through the delegation of specified immigration officer duties, the program allows ICE to enhance collaboration with state, local, and tribal law enforcement partners to protect the homeland through the arrest and removal of aliens who undermine the safety of our nation’s communities and the integrity of U.S. immigration laws.&#8221;

Sometimes the Democrats wish for things they should not wish for. One of those things is body cameras.
Alec Karakatsanis is a liberal author who is anti-police and wants to abolish a multitude of law enforcement agencies. He recently appeared on “Democracy Now!” to explain why body cams on cops are terrible.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Leftist author says “well-meaning liberals” have been fooled into supporting bodycams, which should stop being used.
“They have been an essential propaganda tool.&#8221;
Yet leftists want every one of their militant wingnuts filming law enforcement.

He begins by saying, “they push for these body cameras.” 
Who are ‘they’? Or, to quote a Kanye West interview, “who is ‘they,’ though?” 
What do you mean they were pushing for body cameras? The people who pushed for body cameras were the Democrats. It was only the Democrats who said we needed them.
Initially, some Republicans were okay with it. But in the wake of the shooting of Michael Brown, things changed. Now, the Michael Brown shooting was completely justified. The so-called &#8220;gentle giant&#8221; Michael Brown, this young man who just robbed a store and then grabbed a cop&#8217;s gun and actually discharged it in the car, according to grand juries and eyewitnesses, and then walked away only to turn around and charge at the cop — only then did the cop shoot him.
The Democrats immediately made up, out of whole cloth, a story about how Michael Brown was a sweet little boy who put his hands up and said “hands up, don’t shoot,” and the cop just executed him like the Grand Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan. Just a complete fictional narrative. That’s when the Dems said, &#8220;We need body cameras on cops.&#8221;
And some Republicans disagreed, but the clever Republicans said, “Okay, okay, great.” Why? Because it was a test. A test of reality. The Democrats who called themselves the smart Democrats did not call for body cameras. The really clever ones did not want body cameras because body cameras were always going to show you the reality of criminals and law enforcement. And the reality of criminals and law enforcement doesn’t look good for the criminals, and it does look good for law enforcement.
If you don’t remember, this is a clip from CNN. Barack Obama, right out of the horse’s mouth:

So the sincere liberals really believed that more transparency would help their argument because it would show people the reality of the situation. They believed the reality of the situation was going to buttress their side of the argument, not the conservative side. 
Mind you, this is the party that thinks boys can be girls. 
Mind you, this is the party that thinks babies aren’t really babies.
They thought that reality was going to back them up. And then what happened? They put the body cameras on, and it turns out the criminals are just awful. And 999,999 times out of a million, the criminals who get beat up or shot while they’re being arrested are getting exactly what they deserve, and the cops usually are the ones showing restraint.

The libs thought transparency would help them. It actually hurt them. This is the same with every single issue.
The libs want to make a big show out of LGBT. We need more inclusion. We need more transparency. We need more visibility for transgenderism and LGBT. 
And then you know what happens? We see the visibility of what transgenderism means.
It means lopping the breasts off little girls. It means castrating little boys. The reality of it is anxiety, depression, suicidality, sterility, and early death. That’s the reality of LGBT-ism. The reality of LGBT-ism is social discord and child abuse. That’s the reality of it. 
So you want more visibility? Be my guest.
We’ve had a lot of visibility. There is no question. Let’s go back to &#8220;Will &amp; Grace,&#8221; back in 1999. &#8220;Will &amp; Grace&#8221; all the way up through Gavin Newsom saying, “I want to see more trans kids,” like a freak.
We’ve had a lot of visibility. What happened in that time? First, there was an increase in support for LGBT until just a few years ago, and then, when that visibility really broke through, there was a massive decrease on every front — certainly transgender kids, transgender generally, same-sex marriage — the list goes on and on. The visibility did not help them.
Same thing on abortion. You want visibility on abortion? Look at the little baby. Look at what the baby really looks like in the womb. This is why pro-abortion advocates don’t want the reality of abortion ever to be seen. They don’t want to use real words like baby or even fetus. They want to say “clump of cells” or whatever, because the visibility, the transparency, hurts them. Because reality is not on their side.
What about immigration? The reality of immigration is that the people who are coming to this country &#8230; generally, not the most ideal people. The Left talks about it, though, like they&#8217;re all dreamy, wonderful future engineers and doctors who want to salute the flag and shoot off fireworks on the Fourth of July. The reality is more like face-tattooed rapists, human traffickers, and drug dealers.
That’s the reality. So you bring in the visibility, the transparency — what happens? Trump wins the popular vote running on mass deportations.

It appears more criminals are trying to run over DHS agents. Last Thursday in Portland, Oregon, two criminals attempting to run over an ICE agent were shot. 
Now, you’re not hearing quite as much about this story as the story in Minneapolis. That’s because it wasn’t some white lesbian activist. In this case, as the <a href="https://katu.com/news/local/homeland-security-identifies-venezuelan-couple-shot-by-border-agent-in-portland-incident-dhs-cpb-tren-de-aragua-gang-prostitution-ring-luis-david-nico-moncada-yorlenys-betzabeth-zambrano-contreras">local news</a> in Portland reports, the two people who tried to run over the federal agent were a suspected gangster and his prostitute, both of whom appear to have ties to Tren de Aragua. 
This is another example of body camera footage and the facts vindicating law enforcement, totally upending the liberal narrative. The same thing happened in Minneapolis. In fact, the Left&#8217;s attempt to gin up these kinds of stories against cops goes all the way back to the Michael Brown case.
Here we have a very clear case: illegal immigrants associated with a particularly violent Venezuelan gang, running a human trafficking ring, trying to run over cops, who were then shot. It appears they weren’t killed, but they were stopped.
And yet, the Police Chief in Portland, Bob Day, had a different take on law enforcement preventing Latin American gangsters from running them over:

<blockquote>And what I can say is there is an association with the two folks yesterday and TDA, Tren de Aragua. I hesitated to even share this information initially because I’m very aware of the historic injustice of victim blaming, oftentimes portrayed by law enforcement, including this very agency that I’ve represented so proudly for so many years — for just a moment, specifically to my Latino community. It’s sad and small, my goodness, that we even have to qualify these remarks, because I understand — or at least have attempted to understand through your voices — your concern, your fear, your anger. This information in no way is meant to condone or support or agree with any of the actions that occurred yesterday.</blockquote>
What actions occurred yesterday?
The actions that occurred were that Venezuelan gangsters, associated with a foreign terrorist organization, tried to run over a cop, and he shot them.
He says, “I hesitated to even share this information initially because I’m very aware of the historic injustice of victim blaming&#8230;&#8221;
The victim in this case being a Venezuelan pimp terrorist who was trying to run over a cop in America.
He says, “This information in no way is meant to condone…”
You don’t condone it? You should resign. You don’t condone federal law enforcement protecting itself against a terrorist trying to run them over? A pimp, Venezuelan illegal terrorist trying to run them over? You don’t condone that? Then you need to resign, because your judgment is severely impaired.
Portland’s police chief then starts crying. Crying? Even the most sensitive woman, the most opposed to violence, a dainty little gal with a modicum of common sense would not cry in this situation. If one were to cry in this situation, it would be on behalf of the poor law enforcement officer almost run over by these animals.
But no, he cries for the animals.

So how do we prevent more incidents like these? Allow federal law enforcement to vigorously enforce the law. 
Because if we don&#8217;t, one of two things will happen. Either these people are going to run amok, which will result in more rioting and a lot of dead leftist agitators, as happened during BLM. When the politicians told the cops to stand down, BLM burned down cities across the country. Dozens of people caught up in the mob violence were killed, many of them sympathetic to BLM. The other option is police and federal agents not allowing themselves to be run over — whether by agitators, white ladies in Minneapolis, or foreign gangsters. Those are the only two options.
If you want fewer dead agitators, which I do, then allow law enforcement to do their job. I don&#8217;t celebrate the death of the lady in Minneapolis. I don&#8217;t even really celebrate when Tren de Aragua gang members are mowed down. I would much rather see them reformed. Let them repent and lead flourishing lives. 
So if you want those people not to be injured or killed, you need the law to be enforced. You need to smash some windows in the cars blocking ICE officers, move them out of the street, and let law enforcement do their job.

Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez identified the suspect as Claudio Manuel Neves-Valente, 48, a former Brown student and Portuguese national, whose last known address was in Miami.
Valente is a legal permanent resident who attended Brown as a physics student in 2001. He re-entered the country in 2017 as a green card holder. Authorities believe he acted alone.

Authorities confirmed that Valente killed MIT professor Nuno Loureiro in his home, less than 50 miles from Brown University. Valente previously attended the same university program as Loureiro in 1995, according to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts.
Law enforcement traced the suspect to a rental car location in Boston, and then to a storage facility in New Hampshire, where he was found deceased via a self-inflicted gunshot wound, along with the satchel seen on video footage and two firearms.
This marks the end of a 6-day-long manhunt that spanned three states and involved local, federal, and state law enforcement.
“I know this has been hard on all of us over the past five days,” Providence Mayor Smiley said at a Thursday night press conference. “Minutes have felt like hours, but the people of Providence have done what we’re best at – we’ve leaned on one another, come together and supported one another, and showed the nation what a tight knit community looks like.”
“Tonight our Providence neighbors can breathe a little easier,” Smiley said.
The Rhode Island press conference has yet to mention the shooting of an MIT professor. A separate news conference is planned in Boston around 10:30 p.m. EST.

Shooting

U.S.

Investigators in Providence, Rhode Island, recovered physical evidence — including live ammunition and DNA — from the scene of the mass shooting at Brown University, where two students were killed, and nine others were wounded.
Providence Police Chief Col. Oscar Perez <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/brown-university-mass-shooting-manhunt-gunman-12-18-2025">confirmed</a> to Fox News on Wednesday that investigators are &#8220;in the process of examining that evidence,&#8221; adding, “And yes, we have some DNA that we manipulated and so it just progresses every day.” The development marks a major step in a case that has frustrated the public over the lack of information and footage on the person of interest.
Perez told Fox News that the investigation “progresses every day with forensics, it progresses every day with witness statements, and so yeah, we&#8217;re just trying to find out, and we are going to do our best.” But at a press conference on Wednesday, the police chief <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/us/brown-shooter-suspect-providence.html">admitted</a> that the gunman &#8220;could be anywhere.&#8221;

Providence police and the FBI initially released grainy images and videos of a person of interest in connection to the shooting, sparking criticism from the public over the lack of security footage on campus. Authorities then released &#8220;enhanced&#8221; videos of the person of interest on Tuesday. The videos and photos show a person wearing a mask and a coat walking down streets in Providence before the shooting. Police also <a href="https://x.com/ProvidenceRIPD/status/2001391106148438334">released a map</a> showing the streets where the person of interest &#8220;is confirmed to have been present on the day of the incident.&#8221;

Students Ella Cook, a 19-year-old University College Republicans vice president from Alabama, and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, an 18-year-old from Uzbekistan, were killed while they studied in a first-floor classroom in Brown&#8217;s Barus &amp; Holley building. Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said that the older building has &#8220;fewer, if any, cameras&#8221; compared to other buildings on campus because of its age.
“So, there’s the back part of the building, the old part, and the front part, the new part,” Neronha said. “The shooting occurs in the old part towards the back.&#8221;

Police Recover DNA Evidence From Brown University Shooting Scene

Rhode Island

Police in Providence, Rhode Island, are asking the public to help them identify and speak to another person who they say &#8220;was in proximity of the person of interest&#8221; in the Brown University shooting investigation.
The Providence Police Department released three grainy photos that show a person in a coat and hoodie walking through a yard on what appears to be a residential street.
&#8220;Investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying and speaking to the individual shown in these photos who was in proximity of the person of interest. Anyone with information is urged to contact the tip line at 401-272-3121,&#8221; Providence Police said.

Authorities investigating the attack that left two students dead and nine other wounded on Saturday have been criticized for their lack of progress in identifying and locating a suspect. On Monday, police <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-release-enhanced-footage-of-brown-university-person-of-interest-as-manhunt-continues?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=4&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Police+Release+%E2%80%98Enhanced%E2%80%99+Footage+Of+Brown+University+Person+Of+Interest+As+Manhunt+Continues">released</a> &#8220;enhanced&#8221; footage of a person of interest, which shows a person wearing a hat and mask walking down the street in Providence&#8217;s East Side before the shooting took place.
Students at Brown, and even President Donald Trump, have asked why there are so few security cameras on campus.
&#8220;There can be no excuse for that,” Trump said. “In the modern age, it just doesn’t get worse!!!”
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible c-link--underline" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
Asked about the lack of footage of the person of interest, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said that &#8220;unfortunately&#8221; due to the age of the building where the gunman opened fire, &#8220;we just don’t have additional video footage.&#8221;
&#8220;So, there&#8217;s the back part of the building, the old part, and the front part, the new part,&#8221; Neronha said. &#8220;The shooting occurs in the old part towards the back … and that older part of the building, there are fewer, if any, cameras in that location, I imagine, because it&#8217;s an older building.
The attacker shot and killed 19-year-old University College Republicans Vice President Ella Cook and 18-year-old Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov while they were studying in a first-floor classroom in the Barus &amp; Holley building.
Neither Neronha nor school officials have explained why the older building could not have been equipped with security cameras. Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/older-brown-building-where-shooting-happened-had-no-cameras-presidents-even-older-home-appears-equipped">reported</a> that the university president&#8217;s residence is even older than the Barus &amp; Holley building, but appears to have multiple security cameras.
The university said its cameras focus on &#8220;high-traffic areas, such as streets, sidewalks and campus walkways with significant foot traffic; and in academic and administrative buildings with an emphasis on entry and exit points. Brown’s security cameras do not extend to every hallway, classroom, laboratory and office across the 250+ buildings on campus.&#8221;
&#8220;For security reasons, it is not prudent to share where cameras are and are not relative to individual buildings and locations,&#8221; Brown University added.

Police Ask For Help Identifying A Second Person In Brown University Shooting Investigation

Nick Reiner, 32, was formally charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the brutal slaying of his parents, acclaimed director Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer and producer Michele Singer Reiner.
Los Angeles officials gave an update Tuesday afternoon on the investigation, announcing as the press conference began, &#8220;charges are being filed as we speak.&#8221;
L.A. County District Attorney Nathan Hochman spoke first, laying out some of the details of the charges filed against the couple&#8217;s embattled son, Nick Reiner, 32.
Reiner was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, with special circumstances attached because there were multiple murders and because he allegedly attacked with a deadly weapon — a knife. The maximum sentence, should Reiner be convicted on those charges, is life without the possibility of parole or the death penalty — but Hochman said that no decision had yet been made with regard to whether or not his office would pursue the death penalty.
For the time being, he said that his office had requested that Nick Reiner be held without bail.
&#8220;Charges are not evidence,&#8221; Hochman cautioned then, reminding the public that Reiner had to be allowed his day in court and that prosecutors would be held to the long-enduring &#8220;beyond a reasonable doubt” standard when they presented their case to 12 jurors.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible c-link--underline" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
Reiner, he said, was still going through the standard medical clearances necessary to be brought to court, where he would be arraigned and enter a plea.
Hochman also reminded the public that &#8220;cases involving family members are some of the most heart-wrenching cases&#8221; because of how brutal they can be. Noting that the Reiners were &#8220;icons&#8221; — both locally and nationally — he added, &#8220;Their loss is beyond tragic. We will commit ourselves to bringing their murderer to justice.&#8221;
&#8220;Please do not rely on rank speculation, rumor, or hearsay to believe that you know anything about this case,&#8221; Hochman said, reminding the public to make sure that they get their information from &#8220;trusted sources&#8221; and wait for the evidence to be presented in court.
&#8220;This case is heartbreaking and deeply personal, not only for the Reiner family and their loved ones, but to our entire city,&#8221; Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell said.
An autopsy of the Reiners is still pending, and McDonnell noted that as far as an official time of death was concerned, &#8220;We don’t have specificity yet, we’re waiting on the coroner to determine as best they can.&#8221;
Several reporters were given the opportunity to ask questions as the briefing wrapped up, but most of them could not yet be answered because officials were not willing to undercut an ongoing investigation.
