Summary
D4vd back in court today for a status hearing in his murder case, as a judge decides if there's enough evidence to move toward trial. D4vd's preliminary hearing originally set for May 26, now moved to June 29.
The defense requested more time to review a "mountain of evidence," with prosecutors stating they have already turned over more than 10 terabytes of digital data, but there could be as much as 40 terabytes.
D4vd is charged with the first-degree murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Now we are learning, reportedly from her best friend, that Celeste was pregnant and very concerned about what came next.
Another status hearing scheduled for June 17, 2026.
