Two major murder cases will go back before judges in Los Angeles Wednesday. Both D4vd and Nick Reiner will have pre-trial check-ins that determine whether their cases move forward.
Here's where things stand in both cases: D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, is scheduled for a preliminary hearing status conference after his arrest earlier this month in the death of Rivas Hernandez.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. The check-in, scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, will determine whether the case against him will advance. A preliminary hearing could happen on May 1.
"During the preliminary hearing, I expect law enforcement witnesses to testify and summarize the evidence. The typical rules of evidence don't apply at a prelim. So LAPD officers and detectives can talk about what other witnesses said. Expect to hear a lot of that," said former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani.
Last week, prosecutors said they found what they described as a significant amount of child sexual abuse material on his phone. They said more than 40 terabytes of evidence was found on computers, tablets and iCloud, adding that sheer volume could slow the progress of the case.was released last week. Rivas Hernandez,who was found dismembered in a Tesla belonging to D4vd last year, died from "multiple penetrating injuries," according to the Medical Examiner's report.
Certain drugs were also found in her system. D4vd has been transferred to the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles, where Nick Reiner, accused in another high-profile case, is also being held. Reiner has pleaded not guilty to murder charges for the deaths of his parents, Rob and Michelle Reiner. He has a pretrial hearing scheduled for Wednesday morning.
They were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home on Dec. 14, 2025. The night before, Nick Reiner -- who had been living on his parents' property -- got into an argument with Rob Reiner at a holiday party and was seen acting strangely, sources told ABC News. Nick Reiner was taken into custody hours after the bodies were discovered.
