One of the biggest Hollywood cases in memory is unfolding right now and that is the arrest of the artist singer David. 
He is one of the most streamed artists in the world. 
He's 20 years old only but really shot to fame in recent years. 
Now he has been arrested in connection to the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. 
Her remains were found in the frunk of a Tesla registered to David in September. 
She was believed to have gone missing some point in the spring of 2025, but really fled her family in the spring of 2024. 
But there are two major questions that folks who have been watching this case and are now seeing it unfold in real time are asking. 
First, her body was found 7 months ago. 
Why her body was found 7 months ago? 
Why arrest him now? 
The second is, well, this case has been with a grand jury since November. 
Why didn't they turn back an indictment? 
Police tell me that they believe that they now have probable cause. 
They have enough evidence to be able to make the arrest and to present the case to the DEA. 
Also, it happened on a Thursday. 
And people ask, well, why Thursday? 
Thursday? Thursday happens to be a good day for police to make an arrest because there is a 48 hour window after the arrest and before which the DA has to file charges. 
If they don't file charges, the suspect has to be released, 
but there's a carveout. 
The weekend doesn't count. 
So, it effectively gives them a couple of extra days to work on the case, button it up, and they intend together, the DA, MLA PD, to present the case to the public on Monday, and I'm told very likely present murder charges. 
Second question, why is it that the grand jury didn't turn back an indictment? We don't know that. 
The answer is the DA might have wanted to keep whatever the results were from the grand jury close to the vest as the police have been doing since the start of this investigation. 
They might have more than we know at this point or the DA feels that they have sufficient evidence to be able to go forward with a trial. 
Remember the bar for the district attorney and for prosecutors is reasonable doubt that is higher than the probable cause bar that the police have to produce. 
So they have to be sure that they can actually make this case work and present it to a jury and have a reasonable expectation that the jury will find David guilty. 
So, lots happening in this case, but we are going to know a lot more on
