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.

Did Jeffrey Epstein leave a suicide note?  His brother, Mark, says no.  He doesn't believe the one page letter unsealed by a District Judge Kenneth Karas was written by Jeffrey.  Theres only  five sentences printed on a sheet of lined paper.

It's been seven years since the accused sex trafficking suspect was found hanging in his cell.  A former cellmate says he found it in a book in their shared cell.  Nicholas Tartaglione has said he discovered the note during the approximate two week time period they shared a cell in July 2019. During that time, Epstein reportedly tried to hang himself. He initially claimed that Tartaglione had assaulted him.  Epstein later told staff that he had no memory of the incident.

Epstein died by suicide less than a month later.
