The Spin


Narrative A

It is crucial that Burke has been arrested and charged, as this is the first step toward justice. This development may bring a sense of closure to Celeste's family after her cruel murder.

Narrative B

Allegations alone are no indicative of guilt, and D4vid should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Lawyers for the singer look forward to proving their client's innocence.
