D4vd switches to public defender as murder case advances over 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez

After his private lawyers withdrew, singer D4vd (David Burke) is now represented by a public defender ahead of his second arraignment on murder with special circumstances, sexual abuse of a minor under 14, and unlawful mutilation in the death and dismemberment of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was found in the trunk of his Tesla. The arraignment proceeded as scheduled; the DA is prepared to go to trial and may seek the death penalty, though California’s moratorium complicates that option. A judge refused to delay the hearing, and Celeste’s family criticized the switch to public counsel amid ongoing investigations; next court date is Oct. 19 with trial potentially starting within months.

Le pleaded not guilty to attempted possession of a prohibited weapon; prosecutors sought to keep him jailed, but a DC Superior Court judge released him. The judge acknowledged the device’s seriousness yet noted Le did not threaten anyone, flee, or act violently. Investigators are probing Le’s motives and background, and his brother described him as a free spirit with the guillotine potentially serving as a symbol of disapproval.
