D4vd to stand trial in 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez's dismemberment case

TL;DR Summary
Los Angeles prosecutors say pop artist D4vd (David Burke) murdered and dismembered 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose remains were found in a Tesla trunk. A judge cleared the case for trial on first-degree murder charges, and Burke could face the death penalty amid California’s moratorium, with an Aug. 31 arraignment ahead. The defense points to Celeste’s family allegedly consenting to some contact, while prosecutors cite coercive behavior and threatening messages in the lead-up to the crime.
