D4vd Preliminary Hearing: Day Two

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty brings you the latest from inside the courtroom for day two of D4vd’s preliminary hearing.

There are some graphic descriptions and disturbing content that some listeners and viewers may find distressing. The court is told how Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s ID was found beside a highway, while investigators describe possible blood evidence in a Tesla and garage linked to the singer. The court also hears details of D4vd’s multi-million-dollar recording and endorsement deals, and tensions are rising between the prosecution and defence. Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges. His attorneys say the evidence will show that he did not murder Celeste and was not the cause of her death.

Fame Under Fire will be following the D4vd preliminary hearing from inside the Los Angeles courtroom, with daily reporting, legal analysis and the latest developments.
