Celeste Rivas Grand Jury Witness Faces Arrest to Compel Testimony
In recent developments surrounding the investigation into Celeste Rivas’ tragic death, a grand jury witness is facing arrest for her uncooperative behavior. The situation has escalated in Los Angeles as authorities seek to compel testimony.
Grand Jury Proceedings Against Uncooperative Witness
On December 10, 2025, details emerged about a female witness whose absence during grand jury proceedings prompted frustration among prosecutors. Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman approached attorney Evan Jenness in the courthouse, announcing her intention to seek a “body attachment” order from the judge.
Context and Background
This specific witness failed to appear for her scheduled testimony, leading Silverman to declare that law enforcement would be called to arrest her and bring her to the courtroom. The identity of the witness remains unknown; however, she shares legal representation with Robert Morgenroth, the manager of singer D4vd.
- Robert Morgenroth spent approximately three days testifying before the grand jury.
- There were tense moments during his testimony when Deputy D.A. Silverman questioned why he did not contact police regarding a critical incident.
Morgenroth claimed he believed it was not his responsibility to make the call, emphasizing that he was focused on maintaining D4vd’s tour schedule. It is still unclear whether the absent witness has any direct ties to Morgenroth or D4vd.
Connection to Celeste Rivas’ Case
The ongoing investigation by the District Attorney’s office and LAPD centers around the murder of Celeste Rivas. D4vd is being viewed as a suspect in this high-profile case, adding urgency to the testimony needed from the uncooperative witness.
As the situation unfolds, the court’s actions to ensure witnesses fulfill their obligations may significantly impact the trajectory of the ongoing investigation into Rivas’ death.
