Singer D4vd Appears in Court, Waives May Hearing in Teen Murder Case
Judge Charlaine Olmedo postponed the hearing as prosecutors said more than 10 terabytes of evidence remain to be reviewed.
- On Tuesday, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo rescheduled the preliminary hearing for 21-year-old singer David Anthony Burke, professionally known as D4vd, to June 29. The hearing will determine if sufficient evidence exists for the murder case to proceed to trial.
- Burke faces charges of first-degree murder, mutilation of human remains, and continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14. Authorities allege he killed 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose dismembered body was discovered in his Tesla last September.
- Evidence filed in court suggests Burke stabbed Hernandez after she threatened to expose their relationship, potentially ending his career. Prosecutors allege he ordered tools like chainsaws and a "burn cage" to dismember her remains in his garage.
- A status conference is set for June 17 to address discovery, as defense attorneys requested more time to review the large volume of evidence. Lead prosecutor Beth Silverman expressed frustration, warning that completing discovery could take months.
- The murder charge includes special allegations of lying in wait and killing a witness, with the District Attorney's Office yet to decide whether to seek the death penalty should the case proceed to trial.
