D4VD: Premeditation, Grooming, and a Defense Unraveling

May 04, 11:00 PM

Three parts. Three angles. One case that gets more disturbing the deeper you go.

The People's Brief filed against David Anthony Burke this week describes an alleged cover-up built on staged text messages, fake-name Amazon orders, and three midnight trips to a remote highway. It describes years of alleged exploitation of a child who was eleven when they met. And it triggered a defense reversal — from demanding speed at arraignment to asking for a delay after seeing what prosecutors had compiled.

Prosecutors allege Burke used the name "Victoria Mendez" to order chainsaws, a body bag, and an inflatable pool. They say blue fragments from that pool were embedded in Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains. They say he paid a classmate a thousand dollars to keep a child connected to him. They say three grand juries compelled testimony from Burke's inner circle.

The defense tried to seal the filing. The judge denied it. The prosecution said they'd warned the defense about the volume of evidence. Only thirty percent had been uploaded.

Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski for the full three-part breakdown.
