Courts and Crime
The singer has pleaded not guilty to charges he murdered 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez and concealed her dismembered remains in his Tesla.
The platinum-selling musician known as D4vd, accused of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez and concealing her dismembered remains in the trunk of his Tesla, appeared in court Wednesday and received a third postponement of his upcoming probable cause hearing.
The “Romantic Homicide” singer, born David Anthony Burke, agreed to push the hearing from June 29 to July 21 after his defense team asked for more time. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo set a status conference for July 7.
“Thank you, your honor,” Burke said before he was led out of the courtroom in an orange jail uniform and waist shackles. His lead defense lawyer, Blair Berk, declined to comment as she left the courthouse. His other lead lawyer, Marilyn Bednarski, did not attend.
