What Happened to D4vd's Millions?
Instead of high-powered attorneys. experienced in celebrity criminal cases, singer and accused killer David Anthony. Burke David is going to be represented. by LA County public defenders at trial. Now, that's no slight on them, but what. happened? Could a lack of funds be. affecting his defense? Is David, who was. apparently once flushed with cash, scraping the bottom of the barrel? We're. going to take a look at what we seem to. know about the singer's potential money. troubles and how the victim's family.
called David out in a scathing. statement. Welcome to Sidebar, presented. by Law and Crime. I'm Jesse Weber. So, Los Angeles is home to more. celebrities per capita than probably. anywhere else. And when those. celebrities get into legal trouble, they. retain the best attorneys that money can. buy. But when they suddenly drop those. attorneys or those attorneys decide to. withdraw from the case, it could set the. rumor mill in motion. Right? That is.
what happened in the David Burke case. Now, you might know David Anthony Burke. as David. He's the young singer behind. viral hits like Romantic Homicide. His. fame has grown exponentially over the. last couple of years with millions. already pocketed from one album so far. More big paydays on the horizon. But LA. prosecutors allege that those millions. were part of the reason that David. allegedly committed murder because. according to the prosecution's theory, David was in an illegal sexual. relationship with a teen girl named.
Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The two. reportedly met online, first had sex. when Celeste was just 13 years old. David was 18. That's the allegation. They broke up, got back together. multiple times. Again, this is all. according to the prosecution. and. Celeste allegedly threatened to reveal. their relationship potentially to the. families, to the general public. So, the. idea would be is that she was about to. ruin his reputation and likely cost him. current and future recording contracts. money. April of 2025, investigators, prosecutors believe David lured Celeste.
to this Hollywood Hills home where he. was staying and killed her. Prosecutors. claim David let Celeste bleed out in an. inflatable pool in the garage before. allegedly dismembering her and putting. her remains in the trunk of his Tesla. Her body was found in September of last. year, months after her apparent death. This is after the Tesla was towed and. workers reported a horrific smell coming. from the front trunk. And just days. after Celeste was reportedly killed,
David released his debut studio album, Wither. Now, as investigators began. digging into what happened to Celeste, David became a focal point, and he hired. renowned criminal defense attorney Blair. Burke to represent him. This was well. before his arrest in April of 2026. Burke has represented clients such as. Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Harvey Weinstein, the. late Azie Osborne. This is all according. to the Associated Press. And when he was. arrested, Burke and her co-consel.
Marilyn Bernarkski and Regina Peter put. out this statement. Let us be clear, the. actual evidence in this case will show. that David Burke did not murder Celeste. Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause. of her death. There has been no. indictment returned by any grand jury in. this case and no criminal complaint. filed. David has only been detained. under suspicion. We will vigorously. defend David's innocence. And they did. defend him. They did defend him during. the initial court appearances and the. preliminary hearing which we covered. here on Sidebar. But on Monday during. his arraignment on these charges, we.
learned that David has decided to. substitute his counsel. LA County. District Attorney Nathan Hawkman talked. about this in an announcement after. court. >> At that arraignment, uh, David Anthony. Burke entered not guilty pree. In addition, David Anthony Burke has. substituted his council record out. Before it was Blair Burke, now it will. be someone in the public defenders. office. With respect to the what happens. in the future on October 19th, the court.
has set the next hearing. That is a. pre-trial hearing zero of 90 days. What. that means is that the court could order. a trial within 90 days if the defense is. ready to proceed. As soon as the defense. announces ready to proceed, the DA's. office is ready to proceed. >> I got to say something real quick and. then we'll jump right back into this. I. I don't know about you, but I kind of. put off scheduling my doctor's. appointments, right? I don't want to. deal with the phone calls, the. voicemails, the endless phone tag, and. then when you finally call, the next.
opening is somehow months away. It. really feels too hard than it should. And that is why this episode is. sponsored by Zachdoc. The Zachdoc is a. free app and website that lets you. search and compare highquality in-et. network doctors. They show reviews from. real patients, detailed doctor profiles, so I can compare my options and choose. the doctor that best fits my. preferences. And you know what's great. about ZDOC? I can see the actual. appointment openings and click to book. without all the phone calls and the back. and forth. You can make so many of your.
appointments through ZDOC right now. You. don't have to make a single phone call. Your health matters. Taking care of. yourself shouldn't be complicated. Find. and book the right doctor with ZDOC. Head on over to zakdoc.com/jesse. to get started and check that. appointment off your to-do list. That is. zooccdoc.com/jesse. Now, a couple things here. First of all, David is innocent unless proven guilty. Have to say that. Okay. But we don't. know the exact reason that David chose.
to have someone from the public. defender's office represent him as. opposed to going to private counsel. But. it kind of hearkens back to another. major case in the same jurisdiction. Nick Reiner. Nick Reiner is behind bars. awaiting trial for the alleged murder of. his parents, acclaimed director Rob. Reiner and his photographer wife. Michelle. He was initially represented. by very well-known attorney Alan. Jackson, who had famously represented. Karen Reed. And soon after Jackson. backed out, and while the specifics. weren't provided, there was a lot of.
speculation that perhaps Reiner couldn't. afford Jackson. And it's not just. Jackson, right? It's the idea of you're. going to need to hire experts. This is. going to cost money. Mounting a complex. criminal defense is not cheap. And for. Riner, this would especially be true if. he wasn't allowed access to all this. money in his trust fund. So, what. happened here? Did David run out of. money? Is that what's going on here? Was. there a disagreement in terms of legal. strategy between his attorneys and him? Maybe. But if you think about the money.
for a second, Celeste's family blasted. David's claim of being indigent. This is. a legal term, meaning he lacks the funds. to pay for a proper defense and is. therefore requesting representation from. a public defender. In a press release. titled simply, David Anthony Burke is. not indigent. The family's attorney, Patrick Steinfeld, said, "The Revas. Hernandez family was shocked to learn. that David Anthony Burke claims to be. indigent. It is unfathomable that our. justice system qualifies David Anthony.
Burke as indigent when David has five. plus billion streams with 16 million. monthly listeners on a single streaming. platform and controls three. corporations, David Entertainment, Skullrose Merchandising, and Headspace. Publishing. The residents of Los Angeles. County should be outraged because it. will be the taxpayers that are picking. the tab to defend this millionaire on. charges of murder, continuous sexual. assault of a minor under 14 years of. age, and unlawful mutilation of human. remains. David Anthony Burke is not.
indigent. His assets are protected by. his companies. Perhaps he would have. money if he just asked one of his. corporations or if he had not. fraudulently transferred assets to his. mother manager, Colleen Burke, who is. raking in $75,000 a year from David. Entertainment in a blatant attempt to. protect his estate from any civil suit. So, the victim's family wouldn't be able. to get that money as was testified to in. Burke's preliminary hearing. So, what I. want to do is I want to take a look at. some of the details regarding or.
revealed about David's finances during. that preliminary hearing, which if you. remember lasted days, okay? There were. no cameras that were allowed in the. courtroom that day, but we do have the. transcripts. And on day one and two, the. state called Benjamin Greger, a member. of David's management team, to the. stand. I want to read this to you. Quote, question. How much money did the. defendant generate between 2023 and. 2025? Answer. I would say he's roughly. earned close to 10 to 11.5 million. dollar in gross earnings. Certainly not. a bad haul over two years. Prosecutor. Beth Silverman questioned Gregor about.
the specifics of David's finances, which. it seems were mostly managed by David's. mom, Colleen Burke. So you go to the. transcript. Okay. I think you mentioned. earlier the trust account. The Thorn. Rose trust was valued at 1.2 or 1.5, correct? With the real assets. Yes. Could that be as much as 2 million? I. don't know the value, the current value. or the two homes. Did you testify at the. grand jury that the value of that. account is around 2 million? We had they. had added other properties that his. father owned. I don't know if they ever. moved it into the trust or not. Do you.
remember testifying that he had over 2. million at a Morgan Stanley trust. account? That's correct. Yes, he had. liquid cash. Yes. And Greor also. revealed that there were discussions. about trying to gather assets to cover. potential bail costs, which David never. ended up getting. Did you and Colleen. discuss why you might want to help her. moving money around? Yes. What was the. reason for that? Bail. Last fall, after. Celeste's body was found, but before. David was officially implicated, the. Burke family reportedly transferred.
property from David's name to Colleen. And there was speculation at the time. that the family might be trying to. protect assets from potential seizure in. the event of lawsuits. Now, Beth. Silverman drilled down on Greor's. testimony about that and how it differed. from what he reportedly told the grand. jury. Quote, "And why did you tell her. she should move the properties from. under the defendant's name since they. were his homes purchased with his money. to her and her name? The understanding.
was the Hemstead house was for the. family. So, we moved title." Do you. remember testifying that the reason that. you told her to do that was to protect. the state from any civil suit so the. victim's family wouldn't be able to. obtain those or get access to that. money? I do recall. Yes. Did you. actually prepare documents for the. defendant's signature in order to. transfer title from the defendant's name. to his mother's name so that you could. prevent any sort of civil suit by the. victim's family from accessing those. monies? No, I did not. So why was the. state even interested in David's.
earnings? because there are special. circumstances that are tacked on to the. charges, including murder for financial. gain. The prosecution alleges that David. killed Celeste to keep her from ruining. his career. And it was interesting. during the preliminary hearing because. while Silverman was allowed to question. Gregor about the money, the money that. David earned, the judge had stopped. defense attorney Marilyn Barkski when. she tried to ask what he did with that. money. quote and this is from Miss. Benarkski and were you involved in the.
financial aspects of David's charitable. giving there was a objection from Miss. Silverman irrelevant the court said. sustained Miss Benarkski said as part of. your accounting on the expenses and. income are you aware of the amounts of. money he gave in charity giving then. Silverman had same objection the court. said so let me clarify council the. reason why I'm sustaining the objections. is the amount of money coming in and. finances may be relevant at a. preliminary hearing stage to both motive. and or financial gains in special. circumstances, but how that money is. being distributed is not relevant at.
this particular stage. Whether or not. someone chose to give it away to charity. or keep it for themselves for their. spending is not relevant for the. probable cause because that's what the. standard is. Just simply the amount of. money coming in may be relevant to. probable cause and our special. circumstance. Barkski replies, "Very. well, your honor. No other questions.". Now, on the second day of testimony, Silverman, also called Lewis Poomeru, a. senior vice president of finance at. Innercope Records, and he helped drill. down into David's income and future.
earning potential. Okay, so $950,000. was paid in 2022. How about 2023? In. 2023, 3.869 mil, the court says, I'm. sorry, 3.869 million. The witness says. correct, Miss Silverman says. And who. were the payouts made to in 2023? It was. the David Burke Kugan Trust Account. It. was David Entertainment LLC. It was also. under the merchandise agreement paid to. Skullrose Merchandise LLC. How about in.
2024? How much money was paid in 2024? $186,89. was paid. Now does it often occur that. in between releasing whether you're. talking about an album whether you're. talking about an EP or individual songs. that the income level goes up or down. along with other factors like. merchandising publishing things of that. nature it can as it can in the case. where advances are paid and then the. earnings are recouped against those. advances. Can you explain that? So in. the case where the company's advancing. money to be recouped against earnings.
there might be an initial payment and as. earnings are generated it's recouping. against that advance. So there may not. be additional payments until either. another advance is made or the earnings. exceed that advance payment. So the. agreement the agreement specifies. amounts and timing of the recording. fund. So there is an initial execution. advance that was paid upon signing that. was for 500,000. Was there also payments. made out to the defendant regarding a. second album? Yes. So for the second. album 1.5 million was paid and that was.
for exactly what the agreement provides. for 50% of the recording fund to be paid. as an advance. So the recording fund for. album 2 was deemed to be 3 million. So. 50% of that was paid and that's paid. upon commencement of what exactly? It's. they're typically paid upon commencement. of recording for that additional album. I can't speak to specifically if that. was the the thing that caused these. payments to be made. So it's paid upon. commencement per the recording. agreement, right? It's paid upon. commencement of beginning to record an.
album. Correct. Correct. Okay. So, assuming that the defendant's first. album sold well, eventually delivered. his second album, which sold well, what. is the value of this exclusive recording. agreement between Innercope and the. defendant. Can you be more specific? Sure. We talked about how on the second. and third albums, and I believe we. talked about even the fourth, there was. a minimum of 3 million, a maximum of. six, assuming all of the options are. exercised under the contract. What is. this contract valued at? The minimum. that the contract affords for the.
commitment plus the options would be the. $4 million initial recording fund, the. $3 million minimum for album 2, the $3. million minimum for album 3, and the 3. million minimum for album 4. So 13. million, correct? And that's just under. the recording agreement. They're not. talking about the merchandising or under. Skullrose or the publishing agreement or. the deals with Sony. Correct. Correct. I. know that was a little detail- oriented, but you can see why the prosecution is. using money as an alleged motive in this. murder. Look how much he had to lose.
Look how much he had to gain. If it came. out that David was sleeping with an. underage girl, a minor, those potential. millions would disappear. That's the. argument. And as the legal bills. mounted, it appears David's family was. doing what it could to free up some. cash. TMZ reports that David's father, Dwood, sold one of the family's Texas. homes. The Houston property sold for. 229,000. according to TMZ. And around the same. time, the outlet reports that it found.
information about a loan that Dwood took. out against another property totaling. more than $100,000. Now, whether that. money is going towards David's legal. defense or towards something else, it's. not entirely clear. So during the. arraignment, David entered a not-uilty. plate, standard practice after a. preliminary hearing in California. He is. eligible for the death penalty if. convicted, but DA Nathan Hawkman says. the office hasn't decided yet if they're. going to pursue capital punishment. I. personally believe, in my legal opinion, they're using that kind of as a.
potential bargaining chip to work out a. plea deal. I think they don't want to. put it on the table just yet. But I do. have questions. I have a lot of. questions right now. And I got the. perfect guest to bring on to help answer. those questions. And who is that perfect. person to bring on? We got Nema Romani, former federal prosecutor. He is out in. LA. He knows this case. He knows that. jurisdiction. He knows that law. Good to. see you, my friend. Thanks for taking. the time. First of all, this was a big. surprise. Okay. This departure of his.
legal team. What do you think it's. about? >> Oh, big surprise, Jesse. I can tell you. that. You know, I was in studio. So, I. thought it was going to be a very. routine post prelim arignment. Maybe a. few minutes, enter a not-uilty plea, set. a future date. But all of a sudden, lo. and behold, we hear that David is no. longer going to be working with. celebrity defense attorney Blair Burke, and the court appointed a public. defender. So, certainly surprising, not. something that was expected. I know.
we're going to talk about his finances, of course, but it leads me to believe. that this is about money. We saw it with. Nick. >> So, you don't think it's about a. difference of legal strategy here? >> I don't think so. The fact that it's. post prelim often times you'll have. lawyers that will have a flat fee. through prelim, but trial is expensive, especially a firstderee special. circumstances case. It's going to cost a. lot of money to get it across the finish. line, regardless of whether it's Burke.
or someone else. Is that also because of. the experts that might be required in. this case if you're talking about a. challenge to cause of death? >> No question. You're going to have a lot. of experts. Obviously, you talked about. some medical examiners. There's going to. be digital forensics experts, right? There's a lot of evidence related to the. cell phone alleged explicit images and. videos. We've heard a lot of testimony. about the Amazon and Postmates orders. Obviously, there's the post murder.
conduct, allegedly the dismemberment of. the body. So, you really have a case. that really is going to be separated. into three cases over many months. The. first is, of course, their relationship. and the sex crimes, the murder itself, and then the dismemberment. So, you're. going to need a lot of expert witnesses. Those have to be paid upfront before. they even allow you to retain them, much. less show up to court to testify. >> I'm going to ask you a really difficult. question, okay? But generally speaking, how much would the bill look like? So if. I'm talking about if this is a full.
case, right, death penalty, let's say. for example, the death penaltyy's on the. line. So then it's bifrocated, right? You got the guilt phase, you got the. punishment phase, experts, multiple. charges, this kind of case from. beginning to end for somebody like. David, how much would it cost to have. retained Blair Burke and counsel and. experts and all that? How much would he. be looking at as a legal bill? Yeah, I'm. going to answer this in two ways. Death. penalty and not death penalty. If it is. indeed a death penalty case, there are.
two trials like you said, it's. bifurcated and then there's mandatory. state and federal appeals if he's. convicted and he's on death row. That. type of case could potentially reach. somewhere between 5 to10 million when. it's all said and done. It is expensive. No death penalty. And even though. California theoretically has the death. penalty, the governor has issued a. moratorum. We haven't had an execution. in California in 20 years, then it's. going to be a less expensive case, but.
it's still going to be millions of. dollars in my opinion to get it done if. you're talking about trial and the first. appeal to the court of appeal and. petition to the California Supreme. Court. >> And I apologize. Is this also because of. the quality of attorney that he was. hiring? Because some people would look. at this and say, "Okay, why doesn't he. just hire private counsel? You know, less wellknown than Blair Burke and. company. Why not somebody else?" Or are. you still looking at high cost no matter. who is private counsel? >> It's because of who he's hiring. It. would be less if it were a non Blair.
Burke Allen Jackson type lawyer. Those. lawyers charge a lot and it's not just. themselves handling a trial like this. They have associates, they have. parillegals. It's a small army. So, it. would be significantly less if it were a. less experienced, less well-known. lawyer. >> Explain to people who are not. understanding this. Um, okay. So, he has. public defenders. What's the difference? Because let's be clear, public defenders. are very, very competent attorneys. They.
do great work. But what really is the. difference in the quality or the degree. of representation? I mean, if he has to. have experts, isn't it just going to be. the taxpayers paying for? What is the. difference between realistically from. him, practically for him being. represented by private counsel with. private experts versus public defender. and the experts that you'd be allowed. to, I guess, pay for, the state would be. allowed to pay for? >> Great question, Jesse. And there's two. big differences. Public defenders are.
fantastic. They only handle criminal. cases. They know their way around the. courtroom. The issue with a public. defender is they're not going to have. the time to devote exclusively to. David's case. That's really the bottom. line. So if you have a Blair Burke, if. you have a firm that is going to throw. lawyers and resources at it, that's an. advantage. It's the bottom line. I mean, time is money. Now, with respect to the. experts, of course, if you're paying out. of pocket, you're going to hire the best.
experts in the world. But if you need to. get court approval to retain an expert, which often happens in public defender. cases, then the court's not going to. write those types of checks using. taxpayer funds. So you may be more. limited in who you can retain. >> This is uh not a judgment question, but. it is something I wonder. There are some. high-powered attorneys when the case is. that big, that well known, they may do. it on a I don't know, a proono basis.
they may, you know, say, "Hey, there's. there's a lot at stake here. There's a. lot of eyeballs. There might be a value. to us than um than just the fees." But I. guess that would it make sense in a case. like this? >> I think that's right. I think there are. some lawyers that want to make a name. for themselves that will take a. discount, maybe even take on a case like. this pro bono. But this is going to be a. lengthy representation, right? This. isn't going to be a quick trial. It's. not going to be a matter of days or even. weeks. It could go for a long period of.
time. The facts here are egregious. I. can't see this case pleading out. If. you're a district attorney, Nathan. Hawkman here in LA and you ran on a. tough on crime approach. You can't give. David anything less than life without. the possibility of parole. Maybe life. with the possibility of parole. That. would probably be the lowest you can go. because you have a young girl that was. sexually abused, who was stabbed and. killed, and she was dismembered, and. it's a high-profile case. Everyone's.
watching, everyone's talking about it. So, given those types of deals is how. you get voted out of office. So, >> no. Well, >> you take this case, if you take this. case as a lawyer, you better be prepared. to try it. Jesse, >> and look, he is innocent unless proven. guilty, no matter who is representing. him. I just want to make that clear. Well, going back to one other thing, this idea of and I want to talk about. the death penalty in a minute, but this. idea about the finances. You heard. Celeste family release that statement. where they do not believe that he. doesn't have the money. They're like, he's got the corporations. The money's.
tied up there. Have the corporations. give him money. The idea, this. allegation that he was moving assets as. a way to protect himself from a civil. judgment, does he really not have the. funds? If that's what the case is, if. that's really what the situation is, and. we don't know for sure why there was a. separation between him and his council, but assuming it is about the money. He. really doesn't have it. I talked about. how much money and the streams and all. this. He really doesn't have it. He. can't get the money. Well, it came out. during the prelim, right? One of the. special circumstances is murder for. financial motive, and the DA presented a.
lot of evidence of how much money he was. making, and it was in eight figures, more than $10 million. So, uh, now I'm. sure the Rivas Hernandez family has some. sense of David's assets and income. because there will be a civil lawsuit in. this case. They already have a lawyer. who is a plaintiff's lawyer. So, that's. coming. And, you know, to the extent. that David is hiding or moving assets, that's something that's likely going to. come out in the civil case in any civil. judgment. So, they're probably uh.
uniquely qualified to opine on it. The. question though is if you're the Reebas. Hernandez family, do you want David. blowing all of his money on a lawyer? Right. Number one. And number two, if. you think that maybe a public defender. is differently situated than a privately. retained Blair Burke, is this. necessarily a bad thing for you and your. family? That's the question that I have. >> Can you talk about that for a minute? what the relationship is between the. outcome in the criminal case and how. that might affect a civil case.
>> If there is a conviction in the criminal. case, then that conviction can be used. and it can be proclusive in the civil. case because it's a lower standard of. proof. Of course, even if there is an. acquitt or a mistrial in the criminal. case, that won't affect the civil case. The most famous example, of course, is. OJ Simpson, right? Acquitted in LA. The. Goldman's file a wrongful death lawsuit. One of the lawyers I worked for Law. School was the lawyer Dan Petrachelli. who handled that wrongful death lawsuit. on behalf of the family. And that. wrongful death lawsuit was successful.
and he got a multi-million dollar. judgment against OJ Simpson. >> Let me go back to what's at stake here. And you mentioned how much is at stake. for Nathan Hawkman. The death penalty. hasn't been announced. My personal. opinion is is because I think they're. waiting to use that as a bargaining. chip. I think they're waiting to use. that strategically. Right now he's just. having new counsel. I think there's a. question, do they lay that out there and. say we will not move forward with the. death penalty or we'll take the death. penalty off the table so that you plead. guilty. There's a debate about the.
strength of the evidence in this case, right? And there is an argument that. evidence maybe more strongly supports. certain charges rather than other ones. But am I wrong as to what might be going. on why the death penalty hasn't been. announced? >> The death penalty is always a bargaining. chip. We saw it in Brian Coberger, right? Where the defense. before he tried to unwind the plea, which he's doing now, got a pretty good. disposition at life without the. possibility of parole plea in exchange. for taking the death penalty off the.
table. It happens all the time. The. problem here, Jesse, is any lawyer that. knows what they're doing has no real. fear of the death penalty. And again, it's not about politics, but politics. matter when it comes to the death. penalty. So, if you're representing. David and you're really concerned about. the death penalty being imposed in the. case, it's probably not a realistic. fear. There's been no Republican elected. to statewide office in California, Jesse, since Arnold Schwarzenegger. I. think that was back in 2006. So, it's.
not a real possibility in this case. >> Let me ask you this, though. Is there a. concern about being on death row? So you. might never be executed, but is your. life different if you're on death row as. opposed to, you know, general population. or something like that? >> Potentially, yes. You're isolated. But, you know, usually people that are. convicted of murder and penal code. section 288, LWD and lascivious with a. child, they're going to be separated. from the general population anyway. because they are at risk of being.
attacked in prison. So any type of child. predator in this case, you allegedly. obviously is presumed innocent, but. assuming he's convicted, you have a. child murderer and a child molester, David's going to be separated in any. facility regardless of whether he's on. death row or not. >> Before I let you go, being represented. by the public defender, you talked about. their backload of cases. Can that delay. this trial? Can that be an issue where. they're like, "Look, judge, I apologize. You you know our workload. you know.
what's going on here. We can't just. dedicate all our time and expense. Can. that delay the trial for years? >> It can. And obviously, we know the. defense has the right to a speedy trial. They frequently wave that right. And if. they tell a judge, look, we're new to. the case. We need more time to prepare. Judges almost always grant that request. because guess what? They don't. That's. an issue on appeal. They force the case. to trial. >> Nemo Romani, thank you so much for. coming on. Uh I love having your. perspective. Give us so much to uh think. about here. So, thank you, sir. Good. seeing you. >> Thank you. And that's all we have for. you right now here on Sidebar.
