D4vd case: family lawyer reveals gruesome photos of Celeste Rivas' body

D4vd case: family lawyer reveals gruesome photos of Celeste Rivas' body

At the preliminary hearing in the case of musician D4vd, accused of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas, shocking photographs were presented. According to the family's attorney Patrick Steinfeld, the girl's body was so mutilated that it had turned into "mush." These images caused strong emotions among those present in the courtroom.

Steinfeld, speaking to journalists after the hearing, stated that the evidence presented against the "Here With Me" singer is "damning." He emphasized that it was unbearable for the family to look at the materials, and Celeste's mother, Mercedes Martinez, sobbed throughout the hearing and never recovered.

One photo was so horrifying that even Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman asked an LAPD detective what she was looking at. The detective replied that it was Celeste's head. According to the attorney, the remains were in such a state that they could not be identified as part of a human body.

Steinfeld also expressed confidence that if convicted, D4vd should receive life in prison without the possibility of parole. He called the musician's actions cruel and inhumane, leaving no hope for leniency.

As previously reported, prosecutors allege that D4vd lured Celeste to his rented home in Hollywood Hills to kill her because she was allegedly going to expose their relationship. The girl's body, according to prosecutors, was dismembered and left in a Tesla registered to the musician.

D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including first-degree murder with special circumstances (lying in wait, financial gain, killing a witness), lewd acts with a minor under 14, and mutilation of a human body.

This case has attracted huge public and fan attention. Many fans refuse to believe in the musician's guilt, but the evidence presented at the hearing looks very convincing. The next court session is expected in the coming weeks and could be decisive in this high-profile case.
