D4vd's attorneys offered a glimpse of their possible defense as they questioned a medical examiner about the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The lawyer, Marilyn Bednarski, pressed Dr. Grant Ho — who performed Rivas' autopsy — on how his office concluded that Rivas died from “multiple penetrating injuries” inflicted by another person. Over more than an hour, Bednarski suggested that Rivas may have taken some action that set in motion the events leading to her death. She first asked whether “collateral information” about a victim's history could help determine a cause of death, such as whether the person had…

His Tempe, Arizona band had just been dropped from Capitol Records, and they recorded their fourth album with no new deal in sight.

The album, and the still-ubiquitous “The Middle” in particular, ended up defining Jimmy Eat World’s career. They’re out on tour now marking its…
