Why d4vd’s Chainsaws Had Zero Evidence On Them
d4vd — prosecutors told a Los Angeles courtroom that online purchases of chainsaws, a cadaver bag, a shovel, and an inflatable pool were central to the alleged dismemberment and cover-up of Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s death. They presented financial records, delivery logs, and alias accounts allegedly tied to the defendant. The digital trail is extensive.But the defense exposed a gap: all three chainsaws recovered from the defendant’s home tested negative for blood. No DNA testing was performed. The tools that prosecutors say carried out the alleged cover-up have no biological evidence connecting them to the crime. Berk also pressed on evidence handling — the cadaver bag was not fully preserved and the burn cage was not collected during the initial search.Matching tattoos were shown in court. Prosecutors allege two specific fingers bearing a tattoo of his name were removed from Celeste’s body and have never been located. Financial testimony put earnings above ten million dollars, but the defense demonstrated the defendant’s mother and financial manager ran every transaction.Eric Faddis examines whether the defense is planting real trial strategy or just running standard cross-examination — and how a prosecution survives the gap between its theory and its physical evidence.
