D4VD's Phone Evidence Reveals WHAT, Say Investigators

A status conference just wrapped in the case against D4VD, and a new Hulu documentary dropped right alongside it, reigniting the conversation about what happened to fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Legal analyst Eric Faddis joins us for a deep focus on where this case stands, what the documentary got right, and where Faddis sees real bias in how it was presented.

We start with the pretrial publicity fight. Faddis explains why the defense may argue this case has already circulated too widely online to guarantee a fair jury in California, and what that could mean for where the trial ultimately happens. We also break down the documentary's decision to feature an LAPD detective and the district attorney speaking on camera with what Faddis describes as unusual certainty for a case that hasn't gone to trial, and why that could be used against them later.

Then we dig into the physical evidence: the purchase history prosecutors have flagged, including chainsaws, a burn box, and bags, and what Faddis says that combination suggests about how many people may have played a role in what happened to Celeste. We also cover the material investigators reportedly recovered from D4VD's phone, which Faddis calls potentially the most damaging evidence in the entire case if it's admitted as described. With the preliminary hearing on the twenty-first, we lay out exactly what's at stake and why the defense has stayed so quiet up to this point.
