D4vd lawyers challenge police testing of evidence found in singer’s home

Defense attorneys question LAPD criminalist on third day of hearing to decide whether singer will stand trial

Attorneys for the singer D4vd scrutinized how law enforcement officials chose to test evidence found in his home during the third day of a hearing to determine whether he will stand trial for murder and child sexual abuse.

Prosecutors say D4vd, born David Anthony Burke, fatally stabbed 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez last year to silence her from exposing the sexual nature of their relationship amid his rising profile in the music world.
