Prosecutors say blood stains on objects in D4vd’s home probably of victim

Prosecutors say blood stains found on objects in the former Los Angeles home of the singer D4vd probably belong to Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the fourteen-year-old girl whose decomposed body was discovered in his Tesla last fall. The Guardian reports that an LAPD criminalist gave that testimony on Thursday, during the third day of a hearing that will decide whether the singer stands trial. Prosecutors allege that D4vd, born David Anthony Burke, fatally stabbed the teenager to keep her from exposing the sexual nature of their relationship as his music career was rising. Defense attorneys spent the day questioning the criminalist's findings.
