It's one of the hardest pivots in criminal defense — and FOX News Live asked me about it directly.

How does a defense attorney argue "he's a good guy" and "he wasn't in his right mind" at the same time without completely contradicting themselves?
Here's the answer: the defense is doing exactly what they're supposed to do.
Cole Allen was educated. He had a great job. His neighbors liked him. That's not a contradiction of his mental state — that's the foundation of a mitigation argument. The defense wants the court to see a young man who had everything ahead of him and clearly suffered some kind of break. Because that matters — not for innocence, but for what happens to him after.

He sent a manifesto 10 minutes before it happened. A selfie 30 minutes before. An apology letter to his employer saying "you're not going to like what I'm about to do." And he called himself — in writing — "the friendly federal assassin."

Everything you write. Everything you post. Everything you send. It can and will be used against you in a court of law.

And I'll say something that might surprise you: sometimes what is written is even more important than physical evidence. Because it doesn't just show what someone did — it shows exactly what they were thinking at the time of the offense. That proves premeditation. That proves intent. And that is extraordinarily difficult for any defense attorney to overcome.

In this day and age, your digital footprint is evidence. Treat it that way.

The defense pushed for an immediate preliminary hearing in the D4vd murder case — then they saw the evidence. And backed off.

Here's why. What came out in discovery was staggering:
🔴 Voluminous child po*******hy found on his devices
🔴 Autopsy results confirming Celeste Rivas Hernandez was killed by a sharp instrument — a stabbing
🔴 A clear motive from prosecutors: Celeste threatened to go public about their inappropriate sexual relationship — exposing that she was underage — and David allegedly killed her to protect his career
🔴 Special circumstance allegations tied directly to that motive
🔴 And cell phone evidence that is still outstanding — meaning there is more coming

The defense backed off that speedy hearing for a reason. When you're facing this volume of evidence in a murder case, you need time. Investigators. Experts. A strategy. Rushing is the worst thing you can do.
This case is just getting started —

You guys — the evidence coming out in the D4vd murder case is unlike anything I've seen in a long time. In this episode of The Law Lounge I'm breaking down everything prosecutors have revealed so far and what it means legally for David Burke's defense.

Here's what we now know:
— Child po*******hy found on his devices
— A body bag, an inflatable pool, and two chainsaws ordered from Amazon under a fake name — and parts of that inflatable pool were found on Celeste Rivas Hernandez's body
— Prosecutors allege David sent an Uber to pick Celeste up, stabbed her twice, let her bleed out, and then ordered those items to dispose of her body
— The motive: Celeste threatened to go public about their inappropriate relationship and expose that she was underage — and prosecutors say David killed her to protect his career

I also break down why the defense made the smart move delaying the preliminary hearing from May 1st — and what that tells us about how they plan to fight this case. Because when you're dealing with this volume of evidence, rushing is the worst thing you can do.

Here's the reality: prosecutors are winning the media war right now. They're releasing evidence publicly — and that could seriously impact the jury pool in Los Angeles. A good defense team keeps their cards close and saves everything for trial. And Blair Berk is a great attorney. I can't wait to see what the defense brings forward.

But I have to be honest with you — right now the evidence looks overwhelming. And the story of how this all allegedly unfolded is as disturbing and tragic as it gets. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was a young girl who deserved so much better.
