Singer D4vd's (David Anthony Burke) latest court appearance was short, barely 3 minutes.  He appeared in Los Angeles County Superior Court alongside his new public defenders, Walid Kandeel and Nicole Jones,  as the defense and prosecution confirmed they are continuing to exchange discovery.

Burke attended in an orange jail jumpsuit and shackles, with many reporting he looked tired. Burke remains in custody without bail facing charges of capital murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, and mutilation of human remains in connection with the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Burke has pled not guilty. 

Judge Charlaine Olmedo scheduled the next pretrial status conference for January 11, 2027.
