It's all compassion, distractions from my actions. Too late I'll never realize.
I’m always gonna miss you. I’m always gonna feel you in everything I do. I miss you. If only I could see you, I'd tell you that I love you, I do. Someday I'll be with you. I love you.
From the LAPD public information officer regarding the arrest of David Anthony Burke for the murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez #D4vd#CelesteRivasHernandez
#D4vd was arrested by complaint, not indictment, and the case will be submitted to the DA’s office by Monday for charging consideration.
This likely means either the Grand Jury did not return an indictment, or the DA chose not to seek one.
An arrest by complaint means there will be a preliminary hearing to determine probable cause. This is a public hearing where evidence is presented and witnesses are questioned under oath, something that is bypassed with a Grand Jury indictment.
It will be important to see whether this reflects a difference in strategy or a difference of opinion regarding the strength of the case between LAPD and the DA, or if there is another reason for proceeding this way.
Immunity agreements, whether formal or informal (proffer), remain in effect even though there was no indictment.

Yesterday marked seven months since #D4vd ’s Tesla was towed with Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s dismembered body in the front trunk. Seven months, and we still have nothing but sealed medical examiner records.
A sworn affidavit used to justify sealing those records claimed that LAPD only wanted to ensure they received the report before the public. Yet the report, which should be public, remains sealed.
I believe it remains sealed because its contents would spark public outrage and a demand for answers, answers that law enforcement and prosecutors have failed to provide. They have not even held a basic press conference, something routinely done in high-profile cases.
A dismembered 14-year-old does not appear to warrant informing the public, even though a murderer, or multiple perpetrators, may still be free among us. As far as I am concerned, this has been a complete failure.
I also cannot understand why the family has remained silent. Are they concerned about what they knew? Are they being intimidated? Or is justice for Celeste slowly fading away?
Yes, cases can take time, especially when there is no clear starting point. But that is not the situation here.
Criminal grand juries also do not investigate indefinitely. In Los Angeles County, criminal grand juries are typically empaneled for 30 days. When a new grand jury is seated, they are provided prior materials, but they did not hear the testimony themselves. In many ways, the process starts over.
Since David’s parents appealed, the previous grand jury’s term has now expired. Here we go again.
No indictment.
No press release.
No press conference.
No answers.
No justice.
