A Los Angeles courtroom heard difficult testimony Friday as Dr. Grant Ho of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner described the autopsy findings in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The hearing is focused on whether singer D4vd should stand trial in the case.
According to the testimony described in the report, Ho confirmed that Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s death was ruled a homicide. His appearance on the stand centered on the fatal injuries he documented during the autopsy, giving the court a clearer medical account of how she died.
The proceeding is a key step in the criminal case because the judge is deciding whether prosecutors have presented enough evidence for the matter to move forward to trial. At this stage, the hearing is not about deciding guilt or innocence, but about whether the case against D4vd should continue in court.
The testimony added a forensic dimension to a case that has drawn wide attention because of D4vd’s public profile as a singer. With the medical examiner’s evidence now part of the hearing, the court will continue weighing whether the allegations should proceed to a full trial.
