Overview
- Prosecutors in Los Angeles told a judge Thursday that David Anthony Burke’s iPhone and iCloud contained a significant amount of child sexual abuse material.
- They said investigators amassed roughly 40 terabytes of digital evidence and confirmed the use of a wiretap and three investigative grand juries during the months‑long probe.
- An autopsy unsealed Wednesday ruled Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s death a homicide caused by multiple penetrating injuries to the torso and recorded extensive dismemberment.
- Burke, the singer known as D4vd, has pleaded not guilty and remains jailed without bail, with an evidence hearing set for April 29 and a preliminary hearing on May 1.
- Because child sexual abuse material must be reviewed on restricted computers, prosecutors said they cannot simply turn that data over, a constraint that could slow how quickly both sides get evidence.
