Prosecutors Tie D4vd's Wealth to Motive in Teen's Murder Case

TL;DR Summary
Prosecutors in Los Angeles argue that D4vd had a multimillion-dollar deal with Interscope and a financial motive to kill 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, pointing to purchases of a chainsaw, body bag, and shovel as part of the evidence. The three- to five-day preliminary hearing will determine probable cause on murder, lewd acts with a child, and mutilation charges. Burke has pleaded not guilty and faces potential death or life without parole if convicted; he has been jailed without bail since April. Celeste's family attended the proceedings, seeking justice.
