D4vd Pleads Not Guilty Amid Legal Shift | Tulsa News

D4vd, the controversial singer behind the stage name, just entered a not guilty plea in a shocking case involving the murder and dismemberment of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez — and his legal team just pulled out, replaced by a public defender despite earning millions from music. The court reportedly approved their withdrawal after determining Burke qualifies for state-funded representation, even as prosecutors weigh the death penalty. Authorities say Rivas threatened to expose abuse before her death — and evidence shows she was stabbed the night before her body was found chopped up in Burke’s car trunk. The new defense team, while acknowledging the tragedy, insists on Burke’s right to a full defense — echoing a similar legal shift in another high-profile case.
