Summary
The full Eric Faddis segment. Three case packages in one sitting.
First, who's legally exposed in the D4vd case beyond David Anthony Burke. The cooperation language around Neo Langston. Robert Morgenroth's grand jury testimony. The attorney conflict with Evan Jenness. The Burke family's Texas subpoena fight.
Then the felony complaint itself. The three special circumstances. The financial-gain theory. Blair Berk's ten-day preliminary hearing push. The forty-plus terabytes of discovery. The unsealed autopsy. And the specific defense language signaling a very precise trial theory.
Finally the not guilty plea by Anna Kepner's sixteen-year-old stepbrother in federal court, and what the defense team's choices are telling us about trial. The plea procedure. The judge request. The "C.K." cellphone data. The seven-day trial estimate.
Two cases. Three packages. One of the clearest legal reads you are going to get on either. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

| 0:00.0 | This is Hidden Tiller's Live with Tony Brewski and Robin Drey. |
| 0:08.5 | We're learning so much more every day about the case against David and the death of Celeste Revis Hernandez. |
| 0:15.8 | David Anthony Burke is his full legal name. |
| 0:19.0 | He's the only person charged in the death of Celeste Revis Hernandez, |
| 0:22.4 | but prosecutors have reportedly said he didn't act alone in disposing of her remains. |
| 0:28.2 | And everyone from his manager to his best friend or former best friend to his parents |
| 0:32.8 | have been pulled before a grand jury or fought to stay out of one. |
| 0:39.5 | So why is Burke sitting in a cell while the people around him are walking free? Let's talk about that. Let's talk about the circle. |
| 0:44.1 | Let's also talk about some of the new developments that have come out in this case. Eric Fattis, |
| 0:48.9 | defense attorney, former felony prosecutor, is here with us to help break all of this down, along |
| 0:53.9 | with Robin Drake, |
| 0:54.6 | retired FBI Special Agent, Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. |
| 0:59.5 | It's bad. And I guess the first things we heard from the private investigator that was at the |
| 1:05.4 | house that said there's some very disturbing, dark things going on here. Turns out he was pretty right. |
| 1:12.2 | Let's start, though, Eric, with the fact that David Anthony Burke allegedly did not act alone in the disposal of Celeste remains. |
| 1:20.1 | At least that's somewhat of the belief of the state. |
| 1:23.2 | But he's the only one that is named in the felony complaint. |
| 1:27.5 | He's the one that is behind bars. |
| 1:30.2 | What is that to say to you about what's going on here behind the scenes that there's only |
| 1:34.4 | been one arrest so far after nearly half a year of investigation into this? |
| 1:41.5 | Well, look, Tony, I think the dismemberment of a human body often requires multiple people. It often requires assistance and help and supplies and planning and things like that. |
| 1:53.1 | Especially when we're talking about David, he was, I think, in his early 20s when they're alleging he did this. |
