even if he didn’t murder her (which he did), he should still be sentenced for being with an underage

Unless he can explain away ALL the child p*rn, those text messages, the chainsaws, the Uber ride, the blood linked to Celeste found in HIS garage, her stab wounds and her butchered up remains in HIS vehicle, there’s NO amount of defense in the world that’s going to help David escape these charges. Even if he took a plea deal, he might avoid the death penalty, but he’s still going to be prison FOREVER. IT’S OVER 🤷🏽‍♀️ There’s really nothing left to talk about.

“Allegedly died he says”. My man, I think it’s safe to just say she’s dead.

No shot, the reason he’s been arrested just recently after almost 7-8 months is because the prosecution has been accumulating overwhelming evidence essentially checkmating him before the trial even begins. We’ve learned a lot and have advanced significantly since the botched Casey Anthony trial. They wouldn’t have arrested him if they didn’t believe they have irrefutable evidence for a conviction, they would’ve dragged out the investigation even longer.
