On the second day of preliminary hearing for the murder case of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, prosecutors argued what may have been the singer's motive. The singer maintains his innocence and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Why this matters in The Los Angeles

The focus on the singer's finances during the preliminary hearing raises questions about the potential impact of the case on the local music scene. As the trial unfolds, the community will be watching to see how the prosecution's argument about motive plays out and whether it will affect the singer's reputation and career. The fact that the singer has pleaded not guilty to all charges suggests a lengthy and complex legal process, which could have implications for the city's entertainment industry.
