POLICY WIRE — Los Angeles, USA — Los Angeles Judge Charlaine Olmedo has ruled that there’s sufficient evidence to proceed with a trial against singer D4vd, who’s accused of the murder and dismemberment of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The decision was made following a five-day preliminary hearing.

Judge Olmedo found probable cause for the trial based on the evidence presented by prosecutors. D4vd faces charges of murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14, — and unlawful dismemberment.

Authorities allege that Hernandez threatened to expose her relationship with D4vd, which purportedly led to the crime. The case has garnered significant attention due to the heinous nature of the allegations and the high-profile status of the accused.

The trial date hasn’t yet been set. D4vd remains in custody pending further legal proceedings.
