D4vd‘s dad and mom aren’t stunned he is behind bars — on suspicion of murdering Celeste Rivas — however, they do not plan on giving up on their son …. TMZ has discovered.
Kent Schaffer — the Texas-based lawyer representing Dawud Burke and Colleen Burke — tells us D4vd’s of us are, clearly, upset and unhappy for his or her son, however they have been properly conscious this was a robust risk. As we have reported, LAPD’s considered the singer as their suspect within the case for a number of months.
Schaffer says the Burkes did not converse to D4vd after his arrest Thursday night, however he is unsure if they’d an opportunity to take action on Friday.
The lawyer does suppose the L.A. County D.A.’s Workplace will in all probability cost D4vd with Celeste’s homicide … and the Burkes are planning to fly out to L.A. to be there for his or her son.
As you recognize … a closely armed police unit took D4vd into custody on the Hollywood Hills dwelling the place he was staying. He was booked into jail simply after 10 PM Thursday, and he is being held with out bail.
D4vd’s was taken into custody greater than 7 months after Rivas’ mutilated physique was discovered within the trunk of his D4vd’s Tesla. Whereas D4vd roamed free, a grand jury started to listen to testimony again in November in reference to the case.
In February, the grand jury referred to as Dawud and Colleen to testify … however, they’ve been preventing it — and Schaffer tells us they nonetheless plan on preventing it.
The lawyer says, “If the D.A. needs parents to testify, then they have no case. In my opinion, they’re just doing that for harassment purposes. If a proper subpoena was issued, they would’ve already spoken.”
D4vd clearly trusts his dad and mom … bear in mind, again in September, he transferred two of his Texas properties to his mom’s identify.
Backside line … D4vd’s dad and mom plan on being there for his or her son — come hell or excessive water.
