Overview
- D4vd, the singer also known as David Anthony Burke, faces new claims from prosecutors that a substantial amount of child pornography was found on his iPhone during the murder case.
- At a court hearing this week, prosecutors said they are ready for a rapid timeline to trial and a pretrial proceeding is set for May 1.
- Prosecutors also disclosed phone surveillance in the investigation and said three separate investigative juries reviewed evidence, with transcripts expected later.
- Burke remains in custody without bail and was recently moved to Los Angeles County’s Twin Towers jail in administrative isolation for higher-security monitoring.
- Earlier autopsy findings reported this week state the 14-year-old victim died from stab wounds and was dismembered after death, with her remains found in the trunk of a car registered to Burke; he has pleaded not guilty and denies killing her as a death-penalty review proceeds.
