D4vd’s legal team is not holding back in the preliminary hearing of Celeste Rivas’ murder case, and it’s about time someone put the spotlight on the so-called “experts” that the LAPD trots out like clockwork. Defense attorney Blair Berk is digging into the credentials and credibility of criminalist Lauren Wallace, and let’s just say it’s a circus act that should make everyone question just who is doing the investigating here.

Now, where’s the mainstream media in all this? You bet your bottom dollar they’re peddling the narrative that the LAPD’s findings are gospel. Networks like CNN and NBC would have you believe that every word from law enforcement is unsullied truth, disregarding blatant bias and potential incompetence. If we’ve learned anything from high-profile cases, it’s that motives aren’t always pure—and neither are the validations thrown at the feet of the public for consumption.

Instead of conducting in-depth analyses, these outlets stick to the safe narrative, spinning tales that are often too convenient. Where’s the critical eye on the systemic failures or the untested biases of the criminalists? Instead, they apply a cozy filter, making it easy for the establishment to maintain its grip on power, all while viewers nod along blissfully ignorant.

This isn’t just a trial; it’s a wake-up call. The courtroom is where truth should prevail, but with biased reporting and unchallenged narratives, we’re left with a spectacle that ends with the same old story—the establishment gets a free pass while the real issues are buried beneath layers of sensationalism.

In this media landscape, we deserve better. It’s high time for reporters to start holding institutions accountable rather than playing their hand. If not now, when?
