Judge weighs whether D4vd should stand trial in teen's murder and dismemberment

TL;DR Summary
A Los Angeles judge will decide if there is enough evidence to move singer D4vd (David Burke) to trial on murder, continuous sexual abuse of a minor and unlawful mutilation charges related to the death and dismemberment of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a 13-year-old with whom prosecutors say he had a relationship. Prosecutors showed body camera footage and DNA linking Burke to the crime; authorities found the dismembered body in the trunk of a Tesla registered to him. Burke, then 18, has pleaded not guilty; the four-day preliminary hearing will determine whether probable cause exists to proceed, with the death penalty decision still undecided by prosecutors.
