D4vd awaits

evidence

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lawyers for singer D4vd are pushing prosecutors to reveal their evidence in the case of Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s killing. A judge has set a hearing for next week to present the evidence publicly. D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, appeared in court in jail clothes Thursday.

He’s pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. Prosecutors say they have extensive evidence, including sensitive child sex abuse images from Burke’s phone.

The defense argues the evidence will prove Burke’s innocence. The dismembered body of Rivas Hernandez was found in a car registered to Burke. The hearing will determine if there’s enough evidence for a trial.
