D4vd's Trial: Mounting Evidence, Fierce Defense

0:00On April 22nd, rapper David is on trial for first-degree murder in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. He's pleaded not guilty and faces additional charges of loot acts with a child under 14 and mutilating a body. Prosecutors claim they have overwhelming evidence, including about 40 terabytes of data that's roughly 40,000 gigabytes. He had been hiding out for months at a rental property in Los Angeles while cops investigated the teen's suspicious death. Her dismembered and decomposing body parts turned up inside a Tesla, registered to him, and he got picked up there earlier this month. His legal team is fired up, saying they've barely gotten any discovery materials, no autopsy report, or even a copy of the complaint. One lawyer, Blair Burke, told the court she fully believes in his innocence and urged the prosecution to hand over the file's ASAP. Prosecutors push back, telling the defense to file a formal motion first before they release anything.
