D4vd's Inner Circle: Eric Faddis on the Witnesses Who Haven't Been Charged

D4vd's Inner Circle: Eric Faddis on the Witnesses Who Haven't Been Charged

Author: Real Story Media April 24, 2026 Duration: 18:18

On today's True Crime Today, trial attorney Eric Faddis joins us to break down the legal architecture of the David Anthony Burke case. Prosecutors have reportedly said Burke had help disposing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains. So far he is the only name on the complaint.

Eric, a former felony prosecutor, walks us through the cooperation language around Neo Langston, the grand jury testimony by Robert Morgenroth, the multi-client conflict issues with attorney Evan Jenness appearing to represent multiple witnesses, and the Burke family's Texas subpoena fight that went all the way to a state appeals court. He addresses the question everyone is asking: does cooperation actually buy immunity in a case carrying death-penalty-eligible special circumstances, or is there still a clock ticking on the people in Burke's orbit?

We also get into the defense's potential play to attack compelled grand jury testimony at trial and whether the overlapping representation itself creates a credibility problem the defense can exploit.

If you have been following this case through headlines and want the legal read from someone who has sat on both sides of a courtroom, start here.
