Hours after the unveiling of his mugshot on Monday (April 20), singer D4vd entered a not guilty plea at his arraignment on murder charges in connection to the death of a 14-year-old girl.
Because there was an active investigation into Burke’s alleged sexual misconduct with Hernandez at the time of her death, the D.A. also alleged that the murder constituted the killing of a witness.
His lawyers refute the notions.
“Let us be clear — the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death,” Burke’s legal team of Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter, said in a recent statement.
If convicted, Burke – now 21-years-old – is facing life in prison or the death penalty.
