"I did not see him tear his eyes away from that screen. He looked at the screen like he was watching a movie."
LA Magazine contributor Lauren Conlin, reporting from the first day of singer David Anthony Burke’s (stage name “D4vd”) preliminary hearing in Los Angeles, said she did not expect the court to show graphic images so early in proceedings. Conlin told NewsNation she watched Burke stare at the screen as the prosecution displayed photographs of the victim’s remains, which she described as a disturbing moment for the family seated in the front row.
