On Wednesday, Nick Reiner was formally charged with two counts of first-degree homicide following the deaths of his dad and mom, Rob and Michele Reiner.
Nick has made one look in court docket, however he has not entered a plea. Actually, he has not spoken a single phrase in his personal protection.
However Megyn Kelly believes she is aware of precisely what protection technique Nick will use when his case finally goes to trial.

Megyn Kelly makes daring prediction relating to
“Here’s what I think, and this is a like out-of-left-field prediction,” Kelly mentioned on her present this week (through Radar On-line).
“And it’s just because the Menendez case is on my mind, because that’s also California,” she continued, including:
“And this is what triggered it, in no way am I impugning Rob Reiner. No, I believe there isn’t anything untoward. I think he seems by all accounts a loving father and an appropriate father.”
With all of that mentioned, Kelly revealed that she believes Nick’s attorneys will accuse Rob of some type of sexual misconduct.
“So my question is, is there a likelihood Nick Reiner pulls a card from the Menendez defense?” she mentioned.

Kelly explains her wild principle
“We’re in California. It’s gonna be a California jury, and he’ll say, ‘He was molesting me my whole life. That’s why I used to be so tousled from the time I used to be 10. That’s why I acquired hooked on medication.’
“There’s no way of disproving that, and plays the sympathy card with a California jury about why, from a very young age, he was all messed up,” Kelly continued, including:
“This level of drug addiction at this young of an age may involve parents who were focused on the wrong thing, like careers.”
To be clear, there’s by no means been any indication that Rob Reiner behaved inappropriately with any of his three youngsters.

So Kelly needed to dig deep to assist her prediction, basing it largely on claims made by an actor who labored on Being Charlie, the 2015 movie that Nick co-wrote and Rob directed.
“Erik Audé, 45, told the Daily Mail he found the dynamic between Rob and his son Nick ‘troubling.’ They were fighting,” Kelly mentioned, including:
“They were arguing with each other while they were on the set. They did point out that this guy’s scenes were ultimately cut from the film. ‘They were kissing each other on the lips, which was weird.’”
“They bickered, or they were bickering. They were going off on each other on set. It wasn’t comfortable. There was definitely hostility there,” she continued.
Once more, nothing about that account suggests any form of sexual misconduct, however Kelly appears satisfied that Nick will pursue “the Menendez defense.”
Both that, or she simply wanted one thing incendiary to say on her present.
