Episode Details

Singer D4vd, real name David Anthony Burke, faces first-degree murder charges after the body of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found in the trunk of his car. He pleaded not guilty, claiming no involvement, but prosecutors allege he killed her to silence her after she threatened to expose their relationship and ruin his career. Burke recently switched lawyers from private counsel to public defender Walid Fouad Kandeel, a move that may delay his trial. With charges including murder of a witness and murder for financial gain — potentially qualifying him for the death penalty — the case is moving swiftly toward trial, with a possible start within 90 days after his October 19 court appearance.
