David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

But just before she was killed, it seems they had broken up for good, and Celeste was not happy about it.

RedHanded

And look, I know people might be thinking, why are you even using the words relationship and all of that?

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

She's obviously a minor and he is 16 when they meet.

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

But by the time they're having a sexual relationship, he is 18.

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

I get that.

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

But I think it just makes the story very confusing if we start to say anything other than what she perceived it as, which was a relationship.

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

But I understand that it's not in a legal sense or in a moral or ethical sense.

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

So the prosecution haven't released these text messages.

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

And I think possibly the reason they haven't done that is because I think perhaps they worry that it might make Celeste look more unsympathetic.

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

She is a child, right?

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

She is 14 years old when she was killed.

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

So...

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

I don't personally care what she was saying in those text messages, but I assume she's being maybe quite aggressive with him, threatening to ruin his life, maybe even threatening to lie about things.

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

I mean, not that she has to.

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

They were in a very, very illegal sexual relationship.

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

Yeah.

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

But I think that they're hiding that back because of maybe what's being said in those messages.

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

But they are making it very clear that she was making threats that would have ruined his career.

RedHanded
David “D4vd” Burke - Part One: The Killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez | #452

Because, of course, if she was pregnant, a pregnant 14-year-old making accusations like that would not have been a good look.

RedHanded

And this is the point the prosecutors are referring to with their special condition on David having killed the witness of a crime.
