What D4vd’s Lawyer Asked The Medical Examiner About Celeste

from Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns · host Hidden Killers Podcast

Blair Berk asked the LA County medical examiner a question the courtroom wasn’t expecting — whether Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s fatal wounds could have been self-inflicted. In a case where prosecutors allege the defendant ordered chainsaws, a body bag, and a burn cage under a fake name. Where a body was found in the trunk of a Tesla. Where the alleged motive is a record deal worth up to nineteen million dollars.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what Berk’s questioning reveals about the trial defense — and whether three chainsaws that tested negative for blood and an Uber driver who couldn’t confirm his passenger give the defense enough to survive the rest of the evidence.Bodycam from February 2024 shows Burke was told Celeste was thirteen. Prosecutors say the relationship continued fourteen more months. The defense says he “did not murder” her and “was not the cause” of her death — two different claims that Faddis says signal a very specific trial strategy.Burke has pleaded not guilty and is held without bail. Celeste was fourteen.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
