As the trial and case proceeds for D4vd, he is now being represented by a public defender. The new update came on August 31, after his lawyers withdrew themselves from the case.

During his second arraignment on murder and other charges connected to the death and dismemberment of a 14-year-old girl, D4vd's public defender Walid Kandeel requested that the arraignment be postponed. The judge rejected the request.

D4vd once again pleaded not guilty to charges of murder with special circumstances, sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14 and unlawful mutilation of human remains. His next court date is Oct. 19.
