LOS ANGELES -- Graphic testimony continued Friday on day four in the preliminary hearing for singer D4vd, as a judge weighs whether there is sufficient evidence for him to stand trial in the killing of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

Prosecutors are seeking to prove D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, began sexually abusing Rivas Hernandez when she was 13 and he was 18, then stabbed her to death when she threatened to reveal their long sexual history and crater his career.

A Los Angeles Police Department detective testified about explicit photographs found on Burke's phone that allegedly depicted sexual acts involving Burke and Rivas Hernandez. The detective also described numerous text messages exchanged between the two that discussed pregnancy and abortion, including some messages sent two months after Rivas Hernandez's 13th birthday.

One message from Burke read: "let this abortion be the last one till we have the real one."

Of course when Norm said that, he was referring to Hitler.

“Prosecutors are seeking to prove D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, began sexually abusing Rivas Hernandez when she was 13 and he was 18, then stabbed her to death when she threatened to reveal their long sexual history and crater his career.”

Wait just a minute! I thought this ‘rapper’ was ‘turning his life around’ and was baking cookies with his Grandma as his alibi! How. Can. This. Be? *SNORT*

And if all of this started when she was 13 - probably looking like she was 21+ and totally ‘unsupervised’ did this girl NOT have PARENTS to protect her from predators like this POS?

NOT forgiving what he did at ALL! But there are always so many pieces to these puzzles and more than enough blame to go around.

Can we prosecute her parents, too? Just asking. (Did she HAVE parents?)

Evidence? There's enough evidence for a summary execution.

I forget how many freepers are unfamiliar with the cultural norms of Mexico. And this part of California IS Mexico.

Everybody involved knew the ages and what was going on. If not for the gruesome murder this would be totally unremarkable.

Lots of people are blaming the parents, as well. But I’ve seen no posts saying whether or not she was under their control, or if she was a runaway. Was she?

Just another P-Diddy wannabe...certain groups seem to be committing the greater portion of these sort of pedophilia/murder crimes.
