WEBVTT - D4vd Will Go To Trial; Celeste’s Shocking, Final Texts Revealed

0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Hey, folks, it is Tuesday, July twenty eighth, and through

0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:10.399
<v Speaker 1>nobody's surprise, a judge has officially ruled that singer David

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>does have to go to trial for murder. But there

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>were still some surprises in day five of his preliminary hearing,

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>and with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. Robes.

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>With surprises came when the defense started introducing some text

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 1>messages from Celeste Robes that were pretty strong language in

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>terms of real violent physical threats against David. I wasn't

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>expecting to hear that.

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this was definitely a surprise. Obviously, we knew there

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 2>was a lot and we're talking thousands of text messages

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 2>that investigators and the defense had access to, but we

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 2>until this hearing had not really seen much of it.

0:00:55.200 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 2>But my goodness, it was surprising to see the own

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 2>the texts that were taking place in the twenty four

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 2>hours leading up to her death.

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, tone, I guess is a good way to put it. Again,

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>we have talked about how this looked alike and a

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of what we have seen in this preliminary hearing.

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>They were behaving and discussing things you would expect the

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>much older older of age, adults in a very serious

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>relationship to be talking about. We're talking about a thirteen

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.320
<v Speaker 1>year old girl, so a lot of this is shocking.

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>So to get you caught up here is day five

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>of the preliminary hearing. It was to present evidence to

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>make sure there was enough to go to trial. We

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 1>were fully expecting. I guess that's the first headline that.

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Was established in the first fifteen minutes of day one

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 2>in the preliminary hearing.

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 3>I think we can all agree yet.

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>We went through the process, so yes, it's no surprise

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the judge officially make the ruling, but still rose. We

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>had one detective who finished up the testimony yesterday who

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>was on the stand and rose. We started to get

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>some glimpses of what the defense might want to do.

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Since she had two stab wounds. Did she do it

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>to herself or was it possibly self defense? Robes, is

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>this have they revealed now the direction they're going to go?

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Because they've now presented these text messages in which she

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>sounds threatening, we're going to share them. But Robes, are

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>they establishing a direction now?

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I think it was very clear in day five that

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 2>I was almost said to four oh my goodness, David's

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 2>defense team was clearly setting or establishing the fact that

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:40.639
<v Speaker 2>it was Celeste revs Hernandez who was making threats, making

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>death threats, making threats of mutilating certain body parts, and

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 2>threatening to ruin his life, his career. Get her dad

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 2>involved all of the things you might imagine a young

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 2>girl who was desperate to try and stay in a

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 2>relationship that she saw slipping through her fingers. I mean,

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 2>you see this in attack. You you can feel her

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 2>anxiety almost in the text, but clearly her threats. And

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 2>then they made it very clear that David didn't want

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 2>her to come over, that she was the one who

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 2>was pushing to come over, that she was the one

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 2>who wanted to see him. So, yes, they are clearly

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 2>establishing or we're starting to see them establish a defense.

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>So this was Detective Corey Farrell, and we told you

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>about him yesterday, but he was on the stand for

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.959
<v Speaker 1>over two days. But he was the one who had

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the phone and went through a lot of their text messages.

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>So a couple of things that they did focus on

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>the prosecution at least when he was on the stand.

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>An important timeline between April twenty second and April twenty fifth.

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>That's the stretch of time when they got into a fight.

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>He lured her over, they say he killed her. He

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>had an album release and got it aud d da,

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>dada da. So let's start with Robes. How they say

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>this all kind of kicked off and why she was

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 1>so pissed on April twenty second, back and forth this again,

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>She's it's thirteen, but this feels like a silly thirteen

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>year old almost or a young person's argument. I'm mad

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>at you because I saw some other girl post something

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram from your house.

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that was the heh, and that's it. But that's

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 3>all it took.

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 2>And yes, she was upset about some other girl and

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 2>that is what set her off.

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 3>That is what upset her.

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>And yes it was something posted on social media. I mean,

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:34.359
<v Speaker 2>this is very typical. But her level of I guess

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.280
<v Speaker 2>of anger rose to a pretty high degree. She was

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 2>making some very specific threats.

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 1>So this is on April twenty second, they say, the

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>fight happens. Now, this was important as well. Robes, this

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.159
<v Speaker 1>timeline of the last night of her life. They do

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.040
<v Speaker 1>believe now to set this up first of all, Robes,

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>April twenty third, when they say he lured her over,

0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>you just mentioned and it needs to be mentioned here.

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess they showed text messages at least the defenstive

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of days she was begging to come over.

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>He kept saying, no, I'm busy, Robes. That establishes a

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty good It takes almost that part off the table

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 1>of luring somebody. They're making the point he actually didn't

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>want to see her, So how is he planning to

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 1>kill her?

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 2>And that's really important for the defense because part of

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 2>the prosecution's justification for potentially bringing a death sentence or

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 2>a life in prison without the possibility of parole are

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:40.560
<v Speaker 2>those aggravated circumstances. And part of the aggravated circumstances is

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 2>that he lured her over for financial gain and her

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 2>murder was going to give him money. So you've seen

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.839
<v Speaker 2>them throughout this preliminary hearing try to already establish this

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.159
<v Speaker 2>idea that so much money was at stake, millions and

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 2>millions of dollars, his bursioning career was all at stake,

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 2>and that yes, he lured her own over to kill

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 2>her for his own financial gain. If they can debunk

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 2>that in terms of his role in bringing her over.

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 2>That is going to go a long way in his

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 2>if he were to be found guilty in terms of

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:19.039
<v Speaker 2>his sentencing, obviously they could eliminate the special circumstances.

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>It throws. This is why you get lawyers, and you

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>get good lawyers.

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:23.479
<v Speaker 3>Robes.

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>They might have just saved his life. The way to

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 1>look at that, this is why and we look at

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>all this evidence and go, my goodness, he's guilty, and

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 1>how he's going to overcome it? Robes. Just by getting

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:38.040
<v Speaker 1>that detail possibly off the table, gets the death penalty

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>possibly off the table, and saved his life. Ro That's

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.839
<v Speaker 1>I guess good lawyering. That's why they get paid the

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 1>pig bucks exactly. So, yes, they pointed all of that out,

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.039
<v Speaker 1>that he wasn't the one trying to get her over.

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 1>But he finally does say okay, they agree that she's

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna come over on the twenty third. Now they have

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.039
<v Speaker 1>a timeline that says at eight thirty nine to forvid

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:04.599
<v Speaker 1>ordered and Uber for her and then around ten ten

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>pm this was the final text she ever sent. Robes

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>quote almost there open your door if you're home. And

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>they do have evidence now Robes that at ten ten

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>as well, the uber arrived and at ten ten he

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>wrote back gate opened door unlocked. Now Robes ten ten

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 1>to ten thirty one is a very crucial time period

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>of twenty one minutes. What the hell happened?

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 2>And that is when prosecutors say David murdered Celest Revus

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez in those twenty minutes, because the reason why we

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 2>know what happened in those twenty one minutes at ten

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 2>thirty one. Between ten thirty one and ten thirty six,

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 2>he starts sending Celeste texts where are you at hello,

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 2>bro Celeste, So it looks as though he is trying

0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>to yes, cover up or act as though if anyone

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 2>were to get her phone or to check text messages,

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 2>that he was acknowledging she had never arrived, that despite

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 2>the uber showing her being dropped off gate open door unlocked.

0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 2>The next text from him or where are you at hello,

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 2>ro sess Celeste.

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>So yes, he was a bunch of all the list

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>of a few, but it was a bunch of.

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Those trying to make it seem as though he was

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 2>concerned about where she was that she had never shown

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 2>up at his house.

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>So that means Robes, by the time she pulls up

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>at ten ten. In their theory, they say he attacked

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.840
<v Speaker 1>her immediately. Yes, I don't know how they know that.

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I think there's because of the text messages.

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 3>I guess I get.

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:43.319
<v Speaker 1>But he had twenty minutes, twenty one minutes. What the

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 1>hell happened in that twenty one minutes and whatever happened

0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>in that twenty one minutes robed is key to everything

0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 1>in this case. It's fascinating that they had narrowed it

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 1>down to a few minutes of time in his whole case,

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>so they do have evidence. After that, at eleven ten,

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>he starts driving north at Tesla up towards Santa Barbara,

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.760
<v Speaker 1>and this is where along the way her what her

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 1>passport was dumped.

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Her passport ID and so yes, they found some items

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 2>that they actually traced back by using his GPS and

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.320
<v Speaker 2>a cell phone data. I believe that is, I know

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 2>someone found it, but they were able to actually place

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.679
<v Speaker 2>his car almost in the exact area where her items

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 2>were found.

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So as damaging and damning as all that was

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>while the detective was up there, ropes, when the defense

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.680
<v Speaker 1>got up there, this was as effective as they have

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>been throughout Robes I was shocked by the revelation about

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>her family what this way knew.

0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I was always confused by this and maybe more will

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.320
<v Speaker 2>come out because for her, first of all, Babe, she's

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:47.360
<v Speaker 2>been reported missing since April of twenty twenty four. Didn't

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 2>understand how where was she for him to send an

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 2>uber to take her from wherever she was staying and

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 2>it took more than an hour, so that's about where

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 2>she lived. Where she came from, it was about an

0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 2>hour's drive from his place. So if so, how was

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 2>she still missing If she was coming from the place

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 2>where she lived with her family, maybe she was with

0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 2>other family members, but how would her parents not have

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 2>known where she was? It just that was always confusing

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 2>to me, how she was still missing if she had

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 2>to or if David had to send an uber to

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 2>go get her to bring her.

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 3>To his home.

0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 1>They showed some text messages where she sent just a

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 1>zip code I believe was something to where all she

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 1>did was a zip code in numbers, and he understood

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 1>which place he was supposed to send the uber to

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 1>pick her up. But it was a home in a town.

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>They know where it is. Who was there? You're right,

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.319
<v Speaker 1>it's as if she had a residence, as she had

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 1>a full time home somewhere, so how was she missing.

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.559
<v Speaker 2>There were reports that she had stayed with other family members,

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 2>But okay, that still means you're not missing. I mean,

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 2>even if you're not living with maybe your mother or

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 2>your father, you're with an aunt, you're with a cousin,

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.719
<v Speaker 2>you're with somebody. It sounded like that's where she had

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.680
<v Speaker 2>bounced around, So I guess it's just a little fuzzy

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 2>to me that she was still technically missing from from

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 2>her whereabouts wasn't known by her parents, or at least

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:08.199
<v Speaker 2>that's what it was implied.

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, it was implied, but Robes it was flat out

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>stated in court yesterday that her parents knew about this relationship,

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 1>her adult sister knew about it, her cousins knew, her

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>friends knew. Not only that Robes, they had given their

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>blessing to this relationship. I am not clear on what's

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:31.160
<v Speaker 1>happening here.

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And they even went so far as to say

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 2>that her parents signed a permission slip allowing her to

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 2>travel with him to London, and that her sister came too.

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 2>So and you think about that, even David trying to

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 2>say he doesn't know or he didn't realize how old

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 2>she was. Obviously she had a passport. Obviously you can

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 2>see her date of birth. And yes, when you travel

0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 2>overseas with a minor, you have to have some sort

0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.320
<v Speaker 2>of documentation from a parent that they were all to

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 2>leave the country. So all away with her sister on

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.800
<v Speaker 2>this one, her adult sister.

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.559
<v Speaker 1>Is there any chance that he wasn't involved? Is can

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.439
<v Speaker 1>he make any argument that even then he still didn't

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 1>know she was thirteen years I think.

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 2>That would be really hard for anyone to believe. But

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 2>initially maybe that she lied about her age. Fine, kids

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 2>do that. Young young kids do that, wanting to be

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 2>older and cooler. So maybe initially I would buy that

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:27.840
<v Speaker 2>he might not have known how old she was but

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.959
<v Speaker 2>when she was eleven, But maybe she said she was

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 2>fourteen when she was eleven, who knows. And he was seventeen,

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 2>so he didn't think it was that crazy. But eventually,

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 2>obviously he had to have known.

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when you say, hey, you want to drive tonight

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 1>and she had no license.

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 3>Or hey you want to go to the club tonight,

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 3>or you want to.

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's all kinds of stuff, Okay, But the stuff

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>about the family knowing and blessing the relationship is confusing

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to me. The detail that they he even went to

0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.079
<v Speaker 1>church with the family ones.

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and we had heard before that she traveled with

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.080
<v Speaker 2>him to Texas to meet his family. So it seemed

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.319
<v Speaker 2>as though, or it's starting to seem as though both

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:14.360
<v Speaker 2>families were aware of this relationship as illegal as it was.

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Bro This is going to get fleshed out in a

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.360
<v Speaker 1>trial at some point. The dynamics in the background on

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:29.440
<v Speaker 1>this are mind blowing to me. So he's committing a

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 1>crime and everybody around is welcome him into the church.

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 1>They know how old she is. He's not lying about

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 1>his age.

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Is he?

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't think so. I mean, how couldy?

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 2>He looks as like he looks like an eighteen, nineteen

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty year old old who's.

0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Going along with the relationship. You all know she's thirteen ropes.

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm what am I missing?

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Different families, different different different beliefs. I mean, look, some

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.440
<v Speaker 2>cultures will marry off their daughters very young, so different

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.840
<v Speaker 2>folks have different beliefs about what the right age is.

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Even though we have laws in this country saying exactly

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.120
<v Speaker 2>when the right age is. Who knows what different families,

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.760
<v Speaker 2>different folks, how they operate well.

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 1>And this is where again he wrapped up this this

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 1>detective we're talking about ro if they shared some text messages. Again,

0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>this was the other bombshell part of the surprising part.

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>The defense gets up there and yeah, they just listen

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 1>to the prosecution go through all these text messages that

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:37.320
<v Speaker 1>are so damning to David. Then they put off these

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>robes that are kind of damning. Might not be the

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:42.520
<v Speaker 1>right word, but they.

0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Paint threatens a certain picture.

0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Robes. Was she serious? She was only thirteen or fourteen? Robes.

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 1>This is some some pretty heavy stuff that the defense

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 1>can use to suggest he might have been fearful or

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 1>she might have been unstable.

0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so the threat the texts that they put up

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 2>or they discussed in court. Celeste sends this to David.

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I swear to God, I will kill you. I will

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 2>strangle you to death. I will tell my dad so

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 2>many lies about you. I will end your career and

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:20.920
<v Speaker 2>your life. I will straight up mutilate your penis.

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what to make of that, babe. So

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 1>fourteen year old kid, thirteen, fourteen year old kid sending

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 1>that stuff? What in God's good Heaven.

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 2>That is the first we have heard or seen any

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:39.400
<v Speaker 2>texts even like, not even in that tone or in

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 2>that like.

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 3>This was shocking to see.

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, is that just how you kind of talk?

0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.960
<v Speaker 1>And obviously it's not supposed to be taking taken seriously

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.760
<v Speaker 1>when she says, I swear to God, I will kill you,

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I will strangle you to.

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 3>Death, I will mutilate your penis.

0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Roums, What is is there any and they shared up

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>from him and his response to her, he didn't. I mean,

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 1>there might be others somewhere they can dig up in

0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the prosecution. At least the defense showed some responses that

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 1>were measured in how he was responding and trying to

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 1>deal with her robes. I don't know if the defense

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 1>is going to be able to take this and make

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 1>it a defense he was. She had already threatened to

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 1>literally kill him, came over that night a ratic out

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 1>of control. She did this, she picked up that, and

0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 1>what can you say? But who can tell that story?

0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 1>He's the only one man, He is the only one.

0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 1>So you can't enter that even into evidence. You can't

0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 1>enter that scenario.

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.440
<v Speaker 3>Unless he's willing to testify.

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Or unless they have some forensic somebody who can put

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 1>together the scene. No, you can't robes he's it? Am

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I missing something?

0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Nope?

0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Who else can tell that story? But stay here, folks,

0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:01.080
<v Speaker 1>The defense was not done. They may a couple of

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:06.640
<v Speaker 1>other significant points that again lead to a counter narrative

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:08.000
<v Speaker 1>that is developing.

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 2>And welcome back everyone to this episode of Amy and TJ.

0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 2>We are talking about day five, and it was a doozy.

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 2>It was the final day of the David Anthony Burke

0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.400
<v Speaker 2>preliminary hearing where a judge, yes, ultimately decided no surprise

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.400
<v Speaker 2>to anyone that this is going to trial. But what

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:37.440
<v Speaker 2>was surprising was the window into what we are about

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.480
<v Speaker 2>to see from David's defense team, what his defense will

0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.000
<v Speaker 2>likely be a trial, and they are already painting a

0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 2>picture of a erratic, maybe even vengeful, angry Celestrivas Hernandez

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:55.199
<v Speaker 2>who was making threats in the hours leading up to

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 2>her own death. In addition to some of these texts

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.720
<v Speaker 2>that we saw come out in court yesterday, we also

0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 2>yes learned that she was begging him, begging David to

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 2>come to his home, not the other way around, Not

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 2>that luring thing that prosecutors have been painting a picture

0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.399
<v Speaker 2>of and so she insisted on going to his house

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 2>that night, and David was They were texting back and forth.

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Robes, she he's planning. They said he had to get

0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.679
<v Speaker 1>her over that night to kill her. He'd been telling

0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 1>her not to come for days, said he was busy,

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.959
<v Speaker 1>apparently had an album coming out in a couple of days. Right, Robes.

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 1>That is a very good point that they were able

0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:42.199
<v Speaker 1>to make Robes and show that she was pestering to

0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 1>a certain degree. Have to see you this week. I

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.679
<v Speaker 1>can't go another week without da da da da. Can

0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I come with the night? We need to talk about

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:52.480
<v Speaker 1>this face to face Robes. Look, we've been waiting. On

0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.119
<v Speaker 1>the defense, we were waiting. They usually always come up

0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:56.680
<v Speaker 1>with something the other thing they show in the text

0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.520
<v Speaker 1>from that night, Robes, they had a good line that

0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 1>always saw he wasn't planning a murder. He was planning dinner.

0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:04.280
<v Speaker 1>He was actually texting her as she was on the

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 1>way in the uber about possibly getting in and out burger.

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:11.120
<v Speaker 2>That is so strange, like could he have been doing

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.480
<v Speaker 2>it to have her guard be down and think, Okay,

0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:17.960
<v Speaker 2>we're going to have a lovely, fun takeout dinner and

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.760
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna have makeup sex and everything's going to be fine.

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Or was is that true? Was he really he didn't

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.080
<v Speaker 2>have murder on his mind. He had a burger on

0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:31.520
<v Speaker 2>his mind, and he was not expecting things to unravel

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:32.679
<v Speaker 2>the way they did so quickly.

0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:35.879
<v Speaker 1>And this bro, what do you make of it? He

0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:42.679
<v Speaker 1>can prove now that at least she told him she

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 1>was older. They have text messages from two different years,

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:47.600
<v Speaker 1>and one of them she says she was sixteen, another

0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 1>she says she was eighteen. Does he know that he

0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:52.880
<v Speaker 1>believe that? Yeah.

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's unreasonable to think that a thirteen

0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.880
<v Speaker 2>year old girl would lie about her age. I think

0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.960
<v Speaker 2>that plenty of girls have done that to try and

0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 2>get the attention of an older guy. I don't think

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.320
<v Speaker 2>that's unreasonable to think. But I do believe after a

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:10.119
<v Speaker 2>three year relationship, at some point, meeting the family, et cetera,

0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's unreasonable to believe that he wouldn't

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 2>have actually known her real age. I think maybe initially

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:18.720
<v Speaker 2>and maybe for a little while. I've been duped by

0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.639
<v Speaker 2>someone's age before, so it can happen. But as an

0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 2>adult with another adult, let me just please put that

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:26.480
<v Speaker 2>into context.

0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:28.680
<v Speaker 3>But yes, so I.

0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:30.679
<v Speaker 1>Need to give further details.

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:36.359
<v Speaker 2>No, completely different situation, but that's not unreasonable to me.

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:39.960
<v Speaker 2>But still I guess that would just only speak to

0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 2>the sexual crimes he's facing and Rome.

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.719
<v Speaker 1>The other part of that is she was threatening him.

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:52.280
<v Speaker 1>What was she threatening him with revealing the relationship? Yes,

0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:56.560
<v Speaker 1>so I would in a legal relationship.

0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.000
<v Speaker 2>That's a really good point. He wouldn't have had his

0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:02.000
<v Speaker 2>career wouldn't be on the line if she was of age.

0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:05.400
<v Speaker 2>It just would have been a messy breakup and some

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:07.160
<v Speaker 2>girls saying he did me wrong, but.

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:09.520
<v Speaker 3>That'd be it. He had to deal with all that

0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:10.640
<v Speaker 3>on and pretty.

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:12.719
<v Speaker 2>Much every singer songwriter in the world has actually made

0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:15.440
<v Speaker 2>millions of dollars off of those scenarios with their lyrics.

0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:17.920
<v Speaker 2>So yes, it would not have been an issue had

0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.639
<v Speaker 2>he had he not known.

0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:23.919
<v Speaker 1>Well, they're supposed to be in court next month? Is

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:26.359
<v Speaker 1>it August thirty first? Yes, I remember that correctly, they're

0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:29.480
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be in there. That's kind of a scheduling hearing,

0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:32.399
<v Speaker 1>if you will, they're going to go over when trial

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:34.119
<v Speaker 1>is going to be and what are the next things

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to do? In robes? Did you see this as well?

0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Some law. Is it law, they're supposed to possibly get

0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:43.960
<v Speaker 1>a trial within ninety days. I saw that as Well's

0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:45.680
<v Speaker 1>every thing I'd seen before said next year.

0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Look as much as we see delays and just how

0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.399
<v Speaker 2>long these things take, just for both sides to get

0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:53.360
<v Speaker 2>their ducks in a row, and just for the legal process,

0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:58.679
<v Speaker 2>the courtroom availability, et cetera. It takes a while to

0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:01.200
<v Speaker 2>schedule these things. So to hear that could be beginning

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:03.840
<v Speaker 2>by the end of this year is fairly shocking. But

0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:07.000
<v Speaker 2>we shall see, because I guess maybe in the interest

0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:10.000
<v Speaker 2>of a swift trial, and if I usually it's the

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:12.520
<v Speaker 2>defense that holds things up because they're looking to try

0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:15.120
<v Speaker 2>and get more evidence, et cetera. So if they're good

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:17.760
<v Speaker 2>to go, it's possible we could have a trial here

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:18.679
<v Speaker 2>in a matter of months.

0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Goodness all right, folks, we got our eyes on it.

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 1>But yes, the preliminary hearing is over. Deforvid is officially

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.439
<v Speaker 1>going to be going to trial for the murder of

0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Celeste revs. Hernandez. We always appreciate you going along with us,

0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Signed T. J. Holmes on behalf of my dear Amy

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:35.360
