{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"What d4vd Allegedly Removed From Celeste's Hand","description":"What d4vd allegedly removed from Celeste Rivas Hernandez's hand is a detail sitting in a prosecution court brief that most people following this case still haven't seen. Two of her fingers, prosecutors wrote, were removed because of what was inked on them. That's where this breakdown starts.\nWork backward from there. At 12:04 in the morning, from an empty road off Highway 154 in Santa Barbara County, a call went out from David Burke's phone to Celeste's number, hours after prosecutors say she was already dead. An LAPD criminalist testified about Bluestar reactions on rubber mats in Burke's garage, the bricks underneath, a rowing machine, a tarp, a cord, and a bag of wipes, all presumptive positive. Defense attorney Blair Berk got her to admit she can't call it definitively blood, and pointed to two chainsaws never swabbed for touch DNA.\nThen the hearing's final session. A medical examiner testified Celeste died from two sharp-force wounds and had been dead for weeks before she was found. A detective walked the court through her phone, messages tracing back to when she was eleven, close to fifty images labeled illegal material involving a minor, and texts from January 2024 indicating she was thirteen and pregnant.\nHer mother cried in the gallery. Her father looked at the floor. Burke has pleaded not guilty to every count. A judge now decides whether this case reaches a jury, and we go through what the record actually shows. None of it is settled. A judge still has to decide if a jury ever hears it.\nLinks\nJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/\nWant to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
