## Resource

As David Anthony Burke, also known as D4vd, awaits his murder trial, he and his defense team are likely considering whether he might testify in his own defense. Prosecutors allege D4vd lured Celeste Rivas Hernandez, 14, to his home and later reportedly used a chainsaw and other supplies to dismember her remains after she threatened to expose their illegal relationship. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber breaks down the possibility of D4vd testifying alongside criminal defense attorney John Day.
