Singer D4vd's Lawyers Look to Make Evidence Against Him Public in Killing of 14-Year-Old Girl
Defense lawyers say prosecutors have collected 40 terabytes of evidence and want a judge to review it within 10 court days.
- On Thursday, pop singer David Burke, known as D4vd, returned to a Los Angeles court after pleading not guilty to first-degree murder charges in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
- Prosecutors allege Burke sexually abused Rivas Hernandez for at least a year before killing her on April 23, 2025, when she threatened to expose his criminal conduct and devastate his career.
- An autopsy report released Wednesday confirmed Rivas Hernandez died from two penetrating wounds to the upper body; Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman stated the prosecution has collected "40 terabytes" of evidence.
- Parents Jesus Rivas and Mercedes Martinez made their first public statement on Tuesday calling for justice, while the singer was dropped by Darkroom, Interscope Records, and Sony Music Publishing following his arrest.
- Defense attorney Blair Berk said they will "vigorously defend" Burke, exercising a California right to have a judge decide within 10 court days whether sufficient evidence exists to proceed to trial.
