At the D4vd hearing, a criminalist links fragments on the teen to a pool in his garage

On the third day of the preliminary hearing, an LAPD criminalist testified that blue fragments recovered from Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains were once part of an inflatable pool found in David Burke's garage.
She acknowledged the match was a visual comparison with pieces missing.
The defense pressed on what testing was, and was not, done.
