A Los Angeles judge has ruled that singer d4vd will stand trial for the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The ruling was made after a five-day preliminary hearing, which featured more than 10 witnesses as the prosecution attempted to show they had enough evidence to go to trial.
Case Details
The 21-year-old musician is accused of killing and dismembering the teenage girl to prevent her from disclosing details about their relationship ahead of the release of his album, prosecutors said. d4vd’s attorney has previously said that the actual evidence in this case will show he didn’t kill Celeste, and that he was not the cause of her death. He has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, and mutilating human remains.
