WEBVTT - D4vd Update: Celeste Rivas Hernandez Died Of “Multiple Penetrating Injuries” 

0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Hey, folks, it is Thursday, April twenty third, and seven

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>months now after her body was found in the trunk

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>of singer David's car, we now know how Celeste Revs

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Hernandez died and it's horrible and with that, welcome to

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:25.119
<v Speaker 1>this episode of Amy and TJ Robes. How she was

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>found right dismember decomposing was horrific enough, and now we've

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>finally gotten some details and it's just I think a

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>fourteen year old child went through this.

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.959
<v Speaker 2>It is awful to even hear about, and yet we've

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:45.239
<v Speaker 2>been waiting for so long to hear about how the

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>manner of death, how Celestrivus Hernandez was killed. This was

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 2>a twenty six page medical examiner's report that was released,

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and we now know that she died of multiple penetrating injuries. Basically,

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 2>you can between the lines and say it looks like

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 2>she was stebby. So there were two wounds that were

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 2>sharp force injuries, one to the left chest that damaged

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 2>her ribs and one to her right abdomen that punctured

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 2>her liver.

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>There are plenty more details we're going to talk about

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>as we get into this, but road this is fascinating

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.759
<v Speaker 1>because one part that was fascinating to me is the date.

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I believe they said this was all wrapped up. Essentially

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>they knew this and they've had this information for quite

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>some time.

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they've had it since December, correct, So they found

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 2>her body in September. It took them a couple months

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 2>to be able to make these determinations, these findings, but

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 2>they had her cause of death, her manner of death

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 2>as early as December. And we're only now And by

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 2>the way, when I say we, that includes the family

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 2>are only now learning about how their daughter died months

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>and months after the officials already knew.

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and that's and we do. We had to remember

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>that Robes. This is as shocking as it is to us.

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>This family is having to hear that this fourteen year

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>old child went through this. We all wondered how she died.

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.799
<v Speaker 1>Could there have been some kind of an accident, Robes

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and then he or whoever, maybe she accidentally died and

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>then the person freaked out and did this horrific thing. No,

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.799
<v Speaker 1>this was, as they already have charged him with, Robes.

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>As this points out, this was an intentional act.

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 3>To absolutely kill this girl.

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, they say there were additional skin abrasions, but they

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>couldn't determine exactly what the cause of those were because

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 2>of the decomposition. But they mentioned that, and I think

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 2>we've heard this detail before, that her arms and legs

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 2>were dismembered. They were in one bag, her head and

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 2>torso were in another. But I also thought it was

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>interesting two fingers they say, were removed from her left hand,

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 2>and at first I thought, oh, maybe it was to

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 2>get rid of the tattoo. But no, the tattoo is

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 2>on the inside of her right index finger, and that

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 2>was documented in the autopsy report. That's the one that

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 2>reportedly matches David's tattoo. The tattoo, and now that we

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 2>know what he's being charged with, the sh makes a

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of sense.

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 4>It's just too oh my god.

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 3>They were in a relationship.

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 2>He entered into a relationship that was I hate to

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 2>even use the word taboo.

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 3>It was criminal. She was thirteen.

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 2>They had documented that she was thirteen when he started

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 2>having sex with her.

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there was no point and as young as he is,

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>there's no point. These two knew each other that he

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>was a minor. No, he was an adult, he was

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>a man. The whole time, and there was no point

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>these two should have been involved in anything. Obviously, like

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 1>you said, ropes, not taboo, not worried about what people

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>were going to think about him, that he was going to.

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 4>Go to jail.

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Correct.

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what part of the autopsy this made

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how you feel about this. That actually

0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>made me feel The sickest of all was reading that

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 2>she still had her braces on.

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>When she died. Just a reminder she was a kid, exactly,

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Just a reminder this.

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 4>Is a baby.

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>We know that because we got a baby in our house, right,

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>we got a thirteen year old. The idea of our

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>sabine running around somewhere with a grown twenty year old

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>doing she's a child. She brings us cookies, she does

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 1>kids stuff.

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 3>She just got her braces off.

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Come on, this is uh yeah, I know what you're

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about. And yes, there were some reminders in there

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 1>as you're reading through this horrific thing, and then at

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 1>the end you get reminded that you're reading about what

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>happened to a child. Yeah, you should be a little shook.

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:49.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah by that Robes he I mean some significant like

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you said, the family, Yeah, we should get into the

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 1>family here ropes because they were two different statements. I

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.159
<v Speaker 1>guess we got from the family and we got one

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 1>after these autopsy results were released, and again they're hearing

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>it for the first time. But road we the hearing,

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>what was it after he was arrested, and I don't

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 1>think we got a chance to get into this. He

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.160
<v Speaker 1>had a previous appearance in court in which he did

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>plead not guilty. The family was supposed we were expecting

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>to hear from the family from the first time that day,

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and it was just a kind of a weird series

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 1>of events prevented that.

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so they a were overwhelmed emotionally, obviously by just

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 2>seeing David in court, hearing him plead not guilty, hearing

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 2>the charges leveled against him. But they were still planning

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 2>to come out and speak to reporters, which we had

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.599
<v Speaker 2>talked about and we were anticipating. But then there was

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>a bomb threat called into the courthouse, and according to

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 2>their attorneys, they just were overwhelmed with the emotions of

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 2>the day, and then the fear of this bomb threat

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 2>was just the final straw and they just opted instead

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 2>to head home and they released a statement just about

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 2>their daughter about how they were relieved, of course, that

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.599
<v Speaker 2>someone was finally being accountable, but this was also telling.

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 2>They said, every Friday night was movie night, and we

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 2>spent wonderful times together. We loved her very much, and

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 2>she always told us that she loved us. We miss

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 2>her deeply. All we want is justice for Celeste. That's

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 2>what they said, and that's what they were planning to

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.799
<v Speaker 2>say in front of the microphones that day on Monday

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 2>when he was when he entered that plea, I didn't see.

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if you got any shot of them.

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 1>How big a representation, how many members essentially went to

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>that first hearing. I can't imagine sitting in that courtroom

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 1>from feet from him at this point.

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 2>I know it's an unthinkable thing to just finally get

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 2>your eyes or lay eyes on the man who did

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 2>unthinkable things to their daughter. Yes, and after the autopsy

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 2>results were released, their attorney said that this makes total

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 2>sense that the results caused profound emotional pain for the family.

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.360
<v Speaker 3>But here was the statement, the.

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Revus Hernandez family is absolutely devast stated by the findings

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 2>contained in the medical examiner's report involving the horrible and

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 2>gruesome death of their beloved daughter, they respectfully ask for privacy, understanding,

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>and patience as they process this information. And I thought

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 2>that was such a good way to put it, because

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know, like the processing of something this

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 2>horrific would take a lot of time just to even

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 2>get your head around the fact that your daughter went

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 2>through what this autopsy is revealing she went through.

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Man, but already you're to the point that they're I mean,

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>just to think she was dismembered, right, they were already

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>in this horrible place. How does this story ropes in

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 1>some way keep getting worse? It dealt from the moment

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>we first heard about this, and we weren't familiar with

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>singer David last year and we heard about this body

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>being found. We immediately text our daughters and everybody text back. Yeah,

0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>started naming songs, even naming songs of his. They even

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 1>liked we had no idea. We have been staring at

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>this case every single day since she was found. And Rhodes,

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>you are the one. You I remember you first of all,

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 1>being like, wait a minute, he performed right when his

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>body was first found, Like as soon as the body

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:17.720
<v Speaker 1>was found, they.

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 3>Went on stage that night.

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 1>How horrific is this?

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 4>Then?

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 1>We were devastell like, wow, oh my god, it's horrible.

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>And then you wake up the next day here he performed,

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and that got worse, and then you hear he's not cooperating,

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 1>and things start getting worse and worse and worse as

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>we go along and find out more, and as we

0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 1>continue to find out more, mean Rhodes, we like, how

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>much more can there be for this family if we're

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>even hearing these details, like this story keeps getting worse.

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Right, and then just the fact that they had to

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 2>wait so long for any sort of answers. And the

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 2>medical examiner addressed that as he released the autopsy, because

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 2>we had reported on this earlier, he had already been

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:57.560
<v Speaker 2>very vocal he was upset that the autopsy results had

0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 2>been sealed because he felt like that there's should be transparency,

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 2>that this shouldn't and wouldn't hinder the investigation. So he

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 2>definitely spoke out a few months ago, but took his

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.840
<v Speaker 2>moment as well. When the autopsy was finally released, he said,

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 2>after several months, I am grateful this information can now

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 2>be released not only to the public, but also to

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the grieving family enduring loss. It is unfathomable they have

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.959
<v Speaker 2>had to wait this long to learn what happened to

0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 2>their daughter.

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:29.199
<v Speaker 4>I'm with him.

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I remember when he first made that statement, Rose was

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 1>strong and we were thinking, WHOA, what is going on

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.440
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes, and we were kind of, yeah, we

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 1>can see his frustration robes. Now that we know what

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 1>we know, it's hard not to side with police to

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>not want these details floating around for a couple of

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.200
<v Speaker 1>months as you're still getting your ducks in a row

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.960
<v Speaker 1>to arrest. Can you imagine the pressure on them and

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 1>how this thing would have run even wilder if we

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>new these detailed robes.

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the case would have been even I

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:08.959
<v Speaker 2>don't know how it would have been in a bigger

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 2>spotlight than it would have. And certainly you don't want

0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 2>to tip your information or to the defense so that

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 2>they can potentially start coming up with a plan for

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 2>their day in court.

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 3>You don't want to give that to David and his team.

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 1>And what would have been their option in the meanwhile

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>is to fight it in the press, is to fight

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.199
<v Speaker 1>it in the headlines, to start leaking this, to start

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>doing that, this would have been a mess.

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, they've made their arrest, they've got their

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 1>evidence now robes and just that now in context. That's

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 1>why sometimes you need full context before you just get

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 1>on to somebody, because we.

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 4>Wanted the information.

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>At the time. We were like, come on, man, release it.

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 1>But man, the police now this seems to have made it.

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 2>It certainly does a good point and there is a

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 2>lot more to come. Today when we come back, we're

0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 2>going to tell you David is going to be back

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:03.120
<v Speaker 2>in court and he is asking for something that almost

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:14.120
<v Speaker 2>no defendant has ever asked for in the state of California.

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 1>All right, welcome back here to this.

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.320
<v Speaker 3>This is Thursday, right, Thursday, April twenty third.

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 1>And that is an important date in the case of

0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>singer David. He's going to be in court today. Do

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:29.719
<v Speaker 1>I wait a minute, When was the last.

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 3>On Monday he was entered his plea third?

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 4>What was it last day they said they believe she

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 4>was alive.

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I do believe it was April twenty third.

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god? Is that right?

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, babe, you're right. It was April twenty third, twenty

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty five. This is actually one year ago. Today is

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 2>when Celestial Wow, I did not realize that walked into

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 2>or was last scene entering David's home in Hollywood Hills.

0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, Wow, sends a chill. No, I didn't why

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.080
<v Speaker 1>that dates undt familiar. We've been guys, we've been staring

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 1>at this case for a while, and yeah, that date

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 1>jumps out, but we're at the one year anniversary the

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.440
<v Speaker 1>last time this girl was seen alive, and yeah, she

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:14.959
<v Speaker 1>would have been fourteen.

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 4>At that time.

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 1>The police believe she died and in April twenty third,

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.719
<v Speaker 1>now is a very big date for a singer dated.

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:22.600
<v Speaker 4>What I call him?

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 3>Did I say David?

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:24.080
<v Speaker 2>David?

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 4>Because he does have a hearing to date.

0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Now, we're not going to get a chance to see it,

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 1>but officially Robes hopefully we'll get the info and there

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 1>could be a lot more coming out today.

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's right, because this is scheduled to take place

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 2>at eight thirty am California time, which is eleven thirty

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 2>am Eastern time. And so here's what lawyers are asking for.

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 2>His lawyers want the evidence against him, the evidence that

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.520
<v Speaker 2>the prosecution has against him. They want it made public.

0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 2>So this is a really rare move, as it's been

0:12:56.080 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 2>explained to me. But basically, David's exercising his right in

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:04.440
<v Speaker 2>California to have a judge decide within ten days of

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 2>his arraignment whether there's enough evidence to proceed to trial.

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 2>So they are already coming out swinging, show us what

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 2>you got, and we want the judge to say, you

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 2>think that's enough to charge him, because we don't.

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 3>We want to have you rule.

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 2>In ten days whether or not this looks like there

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 2>is enough evidence to go to trial.

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:24.960
<v Speaker 4>Does this?

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why everybody doesn't do this, meaning ROMs,

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 1>why not right? Why not take what's the risk here?

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Necessarily for them? Get it all out there, let us see,

0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 1>let us do it now and move on. Yeah, giving

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>him bail anyway, so we might as well take a

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 1>shot at it here.

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.960
<v Speaker 2>The argument is that most defendants and their team want

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the time to take their moment to investigate, to prepare,

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.200
<v Speaker 2>to take a look at the evidence, to find counter claims,

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 2>to come up with the defense. All of that time

0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 2>is on the side of the defense to have that

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 2>moment to get their ducks in a row, because the

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:06.079
<v Speaker 2>prosecution has certainly been doing that for the past seven months. Yeah,

0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 2>so it's rare that you would want to just push forward.

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:14.079
<v Speaker 1>Because how many murder cases rogues have we seen where

0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the judge in a preliminary hearing says, nah, we don't

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>need to move forward with trial. Of course this is

0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>going to trial. We know this is going is the

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 1>judge is.

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 2>A show of confidence then like, we are so sure

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 2>our client is innocent, we actually need you to even

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.240
<v Speaker 2>show what you've got at this moment because it couldn't

0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:29.640
<v Speaker 2>be much.

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Don't even though we are not lawyers. Every time we

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>ask lawyers for some expertise on something, we're shocked. We're

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>wrong every single time. So there's some strategy in this

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>that they absolutely know what they're doing.

0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 2>I thought the DA's response was quite interesting, if not entertaining.

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 2>When they asked for this, the DA said, oh, yeah,

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 2>the prosecution will be very happy to present our evidence,

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 2>and we already have forty terabytes collected that can be

0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:58.239
<v Speaker 2>shared immediately.

0:14:58.640 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 4>We'll see.

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what pherabytes ar, but it sounds big.

0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot of forty terabytes they say they have

0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 2>ready to.

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Go forty that's uh, that's was that forty iPhones full

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 1>of information?

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess so, yes, basically they say they have quite

0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 2>a bit. But look, just to remind everyone, David is

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>facing potentially the death penalty in this case. This is

0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 2>a potential life or death situation for him. He's facing

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 2>first degree murder with special circumstances continuous sexual abuse of

0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 2>a child under fourteen, and mutilating human remains. I thought

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:34.080
<v Speaker 2>this was interesting. Prosecutors got very specific because they say

0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:39.080
<v Speaker 2>he had substantial sexual contact with Celest between September seventh,

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three and September seven, twenty twenty four. And

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 2>they make that distinction because that is when she was thirteen,

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 2>and the charges having sex with a minor under fourteen,

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 2>and so they're saying for the full year of her

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 2>thirteenth birthday, there was substantial sexual contact.

0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:58.080
<v Speaker 4>Ah Jesus, And.

0:15:58.040 --> 0:15:59.280
<v Speaker 3>Look, this is what they're claiming.

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 2>They claim that because of that sexual relationship with a

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:07.560
<v Speaker 2>minor under fourteen, when she threatened to expose that relationship

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 2>and devastate his musical career, that is when prosecutors say

0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:17.000
<v Speaker 2>he made the decision, the premeditated decision to murder Celeste

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 2>and dismember her body. And why it ended up in

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 2>that tesla, we don't know, because that is the thing

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 2>that just is beyond I mean, all of it is

0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 2>horrific and questionable. But just in terms of you've hid

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.640
<v Speaker 2>the body for how long and now you put it

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 2>in your car on a public street and you go

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:37.560
<v Speaker 2>off and tour the world.

0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 3>That makes zero sense.

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 1>It makes zero sense, Robes, What did he think was

0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 1>going to happen.

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:46.240
<v Speaker 4>To Robes?

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>He is not guilty, and at this point he is

0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:53.320
<v Speaker 1>an innocent man until a jury says otherwise. But Robes,

0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 1>that is one detail they're plentying here. We can't figure out.

0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 1>That is one detail of stupidity. Frankly that I don't

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 1>that makes this seem unlikely. This could have been him.

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.680
<v Speaker 3>It seems like you were trying to get caught.

0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, ROAs, he left the body on the street. It

0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:10.680
<v Speaker 1>was nearly it wasn't even that far from his house,

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 1>walks away, Rops and just go on tour. He knows

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:17.640
<v Speaker 1>what the body is going to smell. I don't understand.

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 2>The only thing I could think of is if he

0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 2>pissed somebody off, someone knew about it, and then move

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 2>the body from whatever freezer he had in.

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, put it in the car just to

0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:27.440
<v Speaker 3>get him.

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 1>See And this is why you don't release the medical

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.879
<v Speaker 1>examiner's report, because you give folks time to just speculate

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.919
<v Speaker 1>on all kinds of scenario really, and so we do

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.240
<v Speaker 1>not know. We will find out more today. We are

0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.399
<v Speaker 1>keeping a close eye on that court room, waiting for

0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.280
<v Speaker 1>reports to come out of it. But again there will

0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.840
<v Speaker 1>not be cameras in the courtroom today. But we always

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.160
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you spending some time here with us. Just want
