Mad how he was doing that shit while smiling and making appearances and collabs on some of the biggest streams in the world. And making a song called f****** 'Romantic Homocide'. Ill take it back if evidence exonerates him but it looks very bad right now

You don’t wait this long to charge someone with murder if you don’t have the evidence. Nothing will exonerate him, but a hung trial could let him go.

mytransaltaccount123 Apr 17, 2026 +382

don't hung juries usually result in retrials? that's what happened to melly

notdoingdrugs Apr 17, 2026 +222

Usually. It’s the prosecution’s decision whether to re-try the case.

Astrium6 Apr 17, 2026 +153

A huge high-profile murder case like this would definitely be retried unless they O.J. it somehow.

Warcraft_Fan Apr 17, 2026 +78

It was a weird case. The infamous "glove doesn't fit" claim is because of sneaky lawyer's suggestion that OJ stop taking certain medication that caused his hand to swell up before trying on the glove. No one caught on that and it's way too late for prosecutors to fix that oversight.

78

CitizenMurdoch Apr 17, 2026 +125

I dunno I think more damaging to the case was that the defense caught the lead detective in a lie and pretty positively proved he was a massive racist. Whether you think OJ did it or not, the police investigations credibility was destroyed when Mark Fuhrman perjured himself on the stand, and the defense threw it right back in his face

125

BurdTurglary Apr 17, 2026 +77

Y'all forget the not guilty verdict for police who nearly murdered Rodney King and how that didn't sit right with some jurors was the reason some OJ jurors went not guilty. It's what they said in interviews after the trial was over

77

heedwiig Apr 17, 2026 +43

People forget that part. The jury was not stupid, and it was no glove that found OJ not guilty. The black jury was sick and tired of the way the system, the police, was treating (unjustly) and killing black people (for no reason) so they let OJ go in retaliation.

43

FadedVictor Apr 17, 2026 +23

I'm not gonna say they're stupid, but some of the jurors understanding of mathematical probabilities was embarrassing. They told them a DNA match meant it was a one in a trillion chance that the DNA didn't match to OJ. Some of the jurors interpreted this as, "So you're saying there's a chance it's someone else?"

23

FadedVictor Apr 17, 2026 +11

I heard they also kept the gloves in cold storage which shrunk them further.

11

ccarr313 Apr 17, 2026 +10

You know, the basic rule is - don't give a defendant control of evidence to present. Once they flubbed that part, the rest is just a natural progression.

RellenD Apr 17, 2026 +2

I don't think the glove stunt was important to the acquittal at all

2

Dinker54 Apr 17, 2026 +14

Often depends upon the breakdown of the votes, if 11 vote to acquit and there’s a kooky hold out then it’s a good sign that it’s not a good case to retry. But let’s say there’s a questionable evidence ruling from the judge that kept out critical evidence, or maybe it didn’t get in because an assistant attorney screwed up meeting discovery obligations, or a witness vanished at the last minute - then they may be very tempted to retry the case and fix the problems that scuttled their case the 1st time.

Warcraft_Fan Apr 17, 2026 +9

Or not guilty on all charges verdict. In USA, if someone is declared not guilty, the person can't be charged again at all. If the case was dismissed due to hung jury, the prosecutor can try to refile the charge and usually after finding more evidences.

JesusWuta40oz Apr 17, 2026 +8

18

janethefish Apr 18, 2026 +4

They don't need to show their client didn't do it. They just need to show that the prosecution did not prove their case.

There's also this collab with Holly Humberstone which has since been taken down with some dark stuff in the lyrics. That was actually the song of him that I knew of, since it was pretty damn catchy.

AndalusianGod Apr 17, 2026 +32

I mean, she probably never would've guessed that D4vd was a psycho as well. The song is Superbloodmoon, and there's a part like this: "And ***it's bloody***, and ***it's gory***, but that's quite alright."

> Took them damn long enough to figure that out. It takes months for forensic evidence to be tested.

No matter how "easy" a conviction seems. It's better they build a very solid case that takes time but assures conviction than to rush things up and let him go free because of a small mistake.

1309

c10bbersaurus Apr 17, 2026 +247

Yeah, you don't look for the bare minimum evidence that would make it a possible win. You look for as much evidence as possible. You need to overcome all reasonable doubt, with admissible evidence. You want to tell a complete story to a jury, leave the jury with few if any questions. Preferably a confession, which wasn't going to happen here.

247

DeLousedInTheHotBox Apr 17, 2026 +14

I feel like people just assume it is gonna be like a mediocre police procedural where one flimsy piece of evidence is enough to lock someone behind bars.

14

c10bbersaurus Apr 17, 2026 +5

Either that or they just don't know or have the experience how to break down all the steps that go into committing a crime and therefore must be proven. Which is understandable, most people don't until they watch real cases, even watching real crime docs give an inkling of the detail, meticulousness, of investigations. Like you said, it's not like an hour drama.

5

NWStormbreaker Apr 17, 2026 +63

Seems to go without saying, but poor people don't get this benefit of doubt, there's a reason it seems odd that someone with a dead body isn't arrested immediately.

ToumaKazusa1 Apr 17, 2026 +74

If you f*** up a prosecution of a random poor person nobody knows about you aren't going to ruin your entire career.

Also easier to convict them if they have a crappy or overworked lawyer

7

funky_duck Apr 17, 2026 +7

Forensics takes months; it isn't like TV where you can chat up the lab tech and they'll get your DNA sequenced by tomorrow. There are different charges if the victim was murdered vs died of an OD and the body was abandoned. It can take time to sort that out.

7

NWStormbreaker Apr 17, 2026 +3

I'm a dumb idiot who isnt an expert in law, didnt realize it was normal that when a dead child is found in your car you dont get arrested on suspicion for MONTHS. I assumed you get charged so a judge can determine your flight risk, then you post bail.

3

funky_duck Apr 17, 2026 +3

> I assumed There you go - that isn't always the case. ~~Police~~Law enforcement agencies do things like try and figure out if someone is an immediate risk to themselves or others, flight risk, and the strength of the evidence. Seeing as D4vd didn't run away and hasn't apparently caused harm to anyone else, the ~~police~~ various law enforcement agencies may have made a good call to ensure they have everything lined up.

NWStormbreaker Apr 17, 2026 +2

Judges determine flight risk, not detectives. Edit\* also its the DA, not police that decide when to charge.

2

anonymouswan1 Apr 17, 2026 +6

A poor person is going to be relying on a public defender who won't bother fighting this case, but convince their defendant to accept whatever plea deal is thrown their way. This guy seems wealthy, so he will have actual attorneys who will represent him, and not just convince him to plea to get things over with.

PhysicalConsistency Apr 17, 2026 +7

Would think most departments would prefer to arrest and get restrictions placed right away to prevent the suspect from doing it again, especially for someone moving all over the country.

tasha2701 Apr 17, 2026 +230

If investigators took this long to charge him, I imagine it’s because they were building an ironclad case against him to insure that he can’t get off. Sick f***** who groomed a literal child, murdered her, and desecrated her tiny corpse. Hopefully the throw the book at him. Rest in Peace Celeste.

"no bail" means the case is stronger? why?

3

AbanoMex Apr 17, 2026 +16

usually it only means that the person is a flight risk, as in, as soon as he gets on the street, he will take a plane and hide forever.

16

axonxorz Apr 17, 2026 +4

Typically, judges will require a higher standard of claim for a bail-less remand. The assumption is that if a prosecutor feels they have met that standard, their case is likely strong. Naturally, I can't comment if that's what's truly happened here or not.

4

finnjakefionnacake Apr 17, 2026 +34

even when they "have him have him" sometimes trials can take *forevvveerrr*. not that it matters, he's being held without bail.

surferdude7227 Apr 17, 2026 +124

I’ve heard a bunch of lawyers say that cases with mountains of evidence against a person are the most tedious and the most difficult, because you simply cannot f*** up at any step. I’m thinking this was more making sure everything is rock solid before an arrest

124

teplightyear Apr 17, 2026 +28

Criminal law is really hard because of the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard of proof. Juries will let someone off unless you can absolutely prove that they were in the exact place at the exact time with the means and motive to commit the crime. In a case like this, where the body was found a long time after death in a car in bad condition with a defendant who does concerts and tours in lots of places, it's tricky to even prove exactly when and where the murder happened, more or less if the defendant was there to do it. That being said, if a dismembered dead body is found in your car, that certainly doesn't look good. If you have a hit song called "Romantic Homicide" that has lyrics that seem to describe the murder, now there's an argument that you admitted it. I've got a feeling the prosecution is going to end up betting on that admission being the key, unless they found evidence of the actual murder site.

28

bs000 Apr 17, 2026 +20

Pretty sure they can't use lyrics in court because of the RAP Act in California. Even if they did, the song was released in 2022, and there were no lyrics that described the murder except for the ones people made up and spread on social media without ever looking at the actual lyrics.

20

damola93 Apr 17, 2026 +2

>If you have a hit song called "Romantic Homicide" that has lyrics that seem to describe the murder... Nah, this can't be real. It's not even the stupidity of the act; it's just so cliché.

ranhalt Apr 17, 2026 +169

No statute of limitations on murder, and you only get one chance to charge and try someone for a crime, so if you don’t have an open and shut case, you risk not getting the conviction. You got all the time in the world to build the case, so have everything ready before filing criminal charge.

Long-Region5088 Apr 17, 2026 +14

Cops have to build cases with evidence and warrants. That takes time. It’s not law and order where all the police work is wrapped up nicely in a five minute montage.

14

c10bbersaurus Apr 17, 2026 +68

Less than a year is good for homicides, which have an unlimited, indefinite statute of limitations. Homicides need the most proof, you shouldn't go in to the grand jury with bare minimum evidence, or even "more likely than not." Take your time, do it right, especially if you aren't going to get a confession. The key was the "friend" who they got a warrant to drag him back to LA to testify to the grand jury. He said later he spilled all he knew, so he probably had some important info. Then the PD probably had to confirm everything, see if they could get corroborating physical evidence. I don't think this took a long time, given the circumstances, the lack of a confession and reported level of body decomposition.

ripyourlungsdave Apr 17, 2026 +6

I think Law & Order has people thinking the justice system works quickly, it doesn’t. It’s very slow. This arrest took awhile because the police/DA wanted to make sure they had the best case possible against him. No cracks. They still have to convince a jury, so they need it as strong as possible.

hell2pay Apr 17, 2026 +117

Shit, I was framed for a burglary. The same day they arrested the guy who stole the guns I was accused of, they surrounded my house with the ATF, CBI, Staties, local PD and even the college police. Dude who framed me was a crackhead and was dating a friend of mine at the time. Bond was set at 25k. It didn't get resolved until 2 years later. They kept offering me plea deals, but I refused each time. "YOU'RE LOOKING AT 16 YEARS, SON! BETTER TAKE 4" that sort of shit. Thankfully I had a competent lawyer and the dude who tried to frame me was a known piece of shit. But yeah, justice moves slow. And if I didn't have family to bail me out, I'd have spent 2 years in jail, got a public defender and possibly ate the charges anyways.

hell2pay Apr 17, 2026 +37

No. Don't think there was a case. They went off false information, yeah, but they didn't know it was false at the time. Hence the wild response. My entire little quad plex apartment was surrounded with guns drawn for all the agencies I described. They really thought I stole the guns. I denied them search per the 4th, but my dad who I was living with at the time approved it via phone. (I was 20). My dad just said that any pot related shit was his, not mine. Cops said that wasn't their scope, but would confiscate if found. We were supposed to be camping together, but that didn't work out at the time. They did flip my entire room upside down and inside out. Broke some shit, but nothing worth making a fuss about.

Most formulaic shows have this weakness. Usually there's one case that is carried as a b plot across several episodes, every a plot gets resolved in one. In reality they have a bunch of cases worked in parallel with different level of progress, some getting cold. NYPD Blue at least had them interrupt their current case to go to court for cases from previous months or years, law & order is on a rocket docket it seems (D*** Wolf would probably claim the timelines overlap but that breaks their b plot timing).

Probably because the quality of the defense lawyers correlates with the social status of the suspect

74

TheSkullsOfEveryCog Apr 17, 2026 +5

This is correct. I watched a tv show once and, while it doesn’t seem like it sometimes, black, white, brown…public defenders try to get their clients to plead in like 85% (or some crazy high number) of cases. Because they have too many cases themselves. They think a guaranteed 5 years is “good” compared to facing 20+. But again, not skin color, all income based

5

c10bbersaurus Apr 17, 2026 +13

I think the main reason D4vd is being arrested is Neo cooperated fully with the investigators.

13

ChooseUsername9293 Apr 17, 2026 +4

Who is neo?

4

c10bbersaurus Apr 17, 2026 +11

A buddy of D4vid or coworker who reportedly has been hanging out with him while he was hanging out with this girl. Lemme see if I can get details from one of the legal channels on YT. I remember vaguely, but I don't want to give inaccurate details. Edit: so Neo was a friend, frequently seen at the house, in social media pictures, around. There was a trip that apparently D4vid went that they thought was related to her disappearance, and the police believed that Neo was in the car. They subpoenaed Neo to testify before the grand jury. He failed to appear. He was arrested in another state and taken back to LA to testify, and he did but reportedly it was a very short testimony, so people thought he took the 5th and didn't cooperate. But as of a month ago, based on his social media posts, Neo has distanced himself completely and reportedly cooperated with police, spilled the beans of everything he knew.

"The singer D4vd was arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the death of teenage girl whose decomposed body was found in the trunk of his abandoned Tesla last year, authorities in Los Angeles said Thursday." You know in a situation like that, that can in fact arrest him on suspicion and then hold him until trial You don't necessarily stop investigation the moment the arrest happens

You need to bring charges usually, indefinite detention without being charged is considered bad by many legal scholars.

Until the defendant requests a speedy trial. The more investigating done before an arrest the better.

Spideycloned Apr 17, 2026 +29

No, you really can't. You can be arrested on suspicion of a crime, but you can't just be held forever. That's what the 4th amendment is for. If they wanted to charge him, they could but then the clock starts. You need to prove your case right then to a point to get the ball rolling for a judge in a probable cause hearing to agree that theres enough for shit to start moving.

airfryerfuntime Apr 17, 2026 +2

They can't hold anyone on suspicion that long. 48-72 hours, depending on the state, is the max. Remember that show The First 48? That was about how the first 48 hours of a murder investigation are so crucial because they still have access to the suspect for interrogation.

Didn’t it come out that he’d been seeing n grooming her for years?? Like it was an open secret that he was messing with her?? She was a fkn little girl…even if she was madly in luv w/him, as an adult u say “no way!!!” This story has bothered me so much since it broke last year.

What horrifies me the most about this case is how david tried to leave hints and clues within his music like some elite conspiracy villain. He’s not. He’s a loser pedophile who murdered a little girl. He’s not smart or as edgy as he thinks he is. RIP Celeste

I mean, he's got two songs with over a billion plays on Spotify and several others with over 100 million so that's not exactly accurate...

Before or after the murder?

Before the murder. His songs were very popular on tiktok and he had songs in Arcane, Invincible, and Fortnite

keznaa Apr 17, 2026 +15

If he is innocent, he is the guiltiest innocent person to ever have been arrested. I watched the Rotten Mango Podcast about a few weeks after her body was found. I've watched a lot of true crime related stuff as have a lot of people but I have never seen so much circumstantial evidence created over years by the alledged murder themselves. He was seemingly obsessed with her. The trial will be crazy I'm sure.

To me it seems like they were really trying to lock everything down for an ironclad case so this skidmark couldn't walk. Apparently there was a lot of uncooperative parties involved as well.

I’m pretty sure if they found a dead ex girlfriend in my trunk, I’d be in jail the moment they knew where I was. Please. Someone explain. I don’t get the delay?

25

Duhburkuhchur Apr 17, 2026 +22

Prosecutors want to make sure they have the most solid case they possibly can before they pounce on the suspect. They jump too early, and he shuts up completely and the possibility of gathering any further evidence a lot harder. you end up with either a hung jury, or even worse an acquittal due to lack of evidence. They were probably watching him like a hawk the entire time, and may have even been monitoring his online activity, to see if they could pull any more evidence off of him. Who knows, maybe a friend of his flipped and was a CI.

22

Kavirell Apr 17, 2026 +9

He was on tour for months when they found her body. That is why a lot of the public also didn't think he did it at first because he wasn't in LA/The US. They needed more evidence to link that he is the one who killed her.

9

DeLousedInTheHotBox Apr 17, 2026 +2

Also the initial reporting made it seem like the car had been stolen

2

TanPeaches Apr 17, 2026 +6

Allegedly it has been taking a while to confirm her cause of death due to how her body was found, and people close to him weren't cooperating with the police for questioning. Seems like they needed to confirm she was murdered. He also has the funds for an excellent defense team - which means the police department needs enough evidence to be sure the jury finds him guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Due to how much data we know was deleted after her body was found (like his Discord channel), it probably also took a while to find all the digital evidence as well. I imagine we're gonna hear some disgusting details once the trial starts. Poor girl

If I catch someone with their hand in my pocket, taking out my wallet and notify the authorities who happen to be standing right next to me watching the whole thing, theoretically, how many months should I expect them to take to determine if a crime has been committed?

8

Quirky-Skin Apr 17, 2026 +2

That depends on so many things. How are they charged, staffing levels etc. For example in my city, u could be robbed today and u won't get an appointment with the prosecutor to pursue charges for 3 weeks at least. Then it's gotta be reviewed (you have to bring the police report and evidence) then might be charged, then warrant issued then u gotta wait for the person to be picked up (if ever) Then u go to court.

theguytomeet Apr 17, 2026 +21

Wait. This man was STILL FREE??? I thought he was already locked up. Bruh this justice system is a joke (I know I know)

TheBlackHoleSon Apr 17, 2026 +9

Have to make sure the case is solid enough before charging and arresting him on anything. I'd rather the system move slow than not at all.

Yep. Media stopped reporting on his case and he kind of fell out of our minds. He was never arrested though

people panic when tragedy happens and they make some of the dumbest decisions ever. If this was an accident, not coming forward screwed himself. Likely, it wasn’t an accident and that is why he didn’t come forward. No idea why he returned to the states tho. That was pure dumbb.

Crazy how this dude went from being on the up and up to being a murderer and most likely life in prison. I first heard his stuff on an episode of Invincible (one of my favorite shows) and was hooked on his song. Looked him up on YouTube and liked some of his other stuff too…and now…yeah…Shame he turned out like this

InternationalToeLuvr Apr 17, 2026 +6

Way, way too long. We all knew this the moment the stories hit. Sad AF, and disturbing (And those bishes over at FM can't handle discourse about any kind of celeb that isn't gooning 🙄)
