Those present in a Los Angeles courtroom Friday for D4vd's preliminary hearing were forced to see graphic and disturbing photos of his alleged victim's mutilated and decomposed corpse. The singer, whose real name is David Burke, is accused of killing 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez before allegedly cutting up her body and leaving it in the trunk of his Tesla. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber and NBCLA reporter Julia Deng discuss the gallery's reaction to the gruesome testimony, as well as how the accused killer himself responded.
