Plot twist in D4vd case: lawyers abandon defense before homicide trial begins

SIC Notícias31 August 2026 at 18:49

The lawyers representing D4vd abandoned the defense case on the same day a hearing related to the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a 14-year-old girl, was scheduled. This decision came moments before the trial was about to begin.

The artist D4vd now faces multiple serious charges, including homicide, sexual abuse of minors, and mutilation of remains. These crimes are allegedly related to the case of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

Due to the sudden departure of the lawyers, D4vd will be represented by a public defender for the remainder of the legal proceedings. This change represents a significant twist in a case that was already shrouded in controversy.

The abandonment of the defense occurred specifically on the day the hearing was scheduled, suggesting an unexpected and potentially strategic decision on the part of the artist's former legal representatives.
