"Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman stated that Burke killed the 14-year-old because she threatened to expose the fact that he'd been sexually abusing her for nearly a year."
"An autopsy report revealed that Hernandez died from a pair of stab wounds, and her body was dismembered when police found it in the trunk."
"Burke's lead defense attorney, Blair Berk, expressed skepticism about the prosecution's case, arguing that it may not withstand scrutiny."
"Prosecutors have a trove of evidence to turn over, including the results of a wiretap and searches of Burke's cell phone and iCloud accounts."
Singer D4vd, also known as David Anthony Burke, faces charges of murder, continuous sex abuse of a minor, and mutilating a corpse in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Her body was discovered in the trunk of Burke's Tesla. Authorities allege Burke killed Hernandez to prevent her from revealing his abuse. An autopsy confirmed she died from stab wounds, and her body was dismembered. A preliminary hearing will determine if there is enough evidence for a trial.
