D4vd Pleads Not Guilty, Seeks Fast-Track Trial in Teen’s Murder Case

D4vd (David Burke) pleaded not guilty in Los Angeles to first-degree murder and continuous sexual abuse in the dismemberment death of 13-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez and asked for a fast-tracked preliminary hearing. Prosecutors warned the case carries possible death-penalty consequences under special circumstances, while the defense pushed for broad discovery; Hernandez’s parents attended the arraignment. D4vd remains jailed without bail, with autopsy results ordered to be released as the court moves toward a follow-up hearing later this week.
