The D4vd and Celeste Rivas Hernandez case has proven to be one of the most harrowing we've seen in quite some time. As it stands, D4vd is accused of killing and dismembering Celeste, while also carrying on a sexual relationship with her while she was underage.
If convicted, D4vd would be facing life in prison. However, there is also a slight chance that he could be given the death penalty for the alleged crimes. This would set a large precedent, and it would also make this one of the most significant cases in the history of the music industry.
In the months following Hernandez's passing, her family has been the subject of scrutiny and criticism. Some believe they should have done more to protect her from D4vd. Exhibits from the courtroom suggest the family knew about the alleged relationship.
Now, the family is speaking out. According to Rolling Stone, they are even calling for the death penalty.
D4vd To Go To Trial
"[It] would be perfect for this kind of human being, devoid of feelings and emptiness inside, and without conscience," they said in a statement.
It is still unknown whether or not D4vd will face the death penalty. The District Attorney's office has to decide if they will seek such a punishment, or simply leave things at life in prison. Given the details of the case and the alleged crime being committed, D4vd is very much eligible for capital punishment.
