2:02 PM PT -- D4vd's preliminary hearing is over after five days of testimony ... with the judge ordering the murder case of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas to proceed to trial.

Celeste Rivas threatened to kill D4vd just one day before prosecutors say he murdered her ... erupting over his friendship with former pal Aysia Collins, according to explosive texts revealed in court Monday.

The messages show Celeste grilling D4vd about why he wanted to remain friends with Aysia and becoming furious after learning that Aysia had been at his Hollywood Hills home.

"Oh my f***ing God, I swear to God, I’ll kill u," Celeste wrote, according to testimony from D4vd's preliminary hearing. She also threatened to strangle D4vd, tell lies to her father about him, mutilate his penis, and "end" his career and life.

Mitch McConnell dropped his second proof-of-life photo Monday, and his doctor put out a statement about the Senator's health ... but when a photog asked the doc about McConnell, he feigned ignorance.

Dr. Monahan claimed he had "no information" about McConnell ... even though his office put out a long statement Monday discussing McConnell's slow recovery from a June fall at his home.

The doc didn't know much more about his Subway sandwich -- he had no clue what kind of cold cuts he was being served -- and the photog rightfully gave him grief about his fast food choice.

2:02 PM PT -- The judge ordered the murder case of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas to proceed to trial.

D4vd could claim he killed Celeste Rivas in self-defense if, as expected, his murder case goes to trial, or he could claim she killed herself ... at least based on some texts she sent him shortly before her death.

According to text messages read in court Monday during D4vd's preliminary hearing, Celeste threatened to kill and strangle D4vd the day before prosecutors say he lured Celeste to his Hollywood Hills home and murdered her.

As TMZ reported ... Celeste repeatedly threatened D4vd during a furious exchange over his friendship with Aysia Collins, vowing to mutilate his penis and destroy his life and career. His defense also highlighted messages suggesting Celeste talked about killing herself.

That could leave D4vd's defense team with two potential lanes at trial -- argue Celeste took her own life or, if he did kill her, claim he acted in self-defense.

The murder trial for Lindsay Clancy began Monday morning with opening statements ... in a horrific case of the Massachusetts mother accused of murdering her three young children.

Clancy is accused of strangling Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan with elastic workout bands at her Duxbury home -- before she tried to kill herself.

Lindsay's lawyers are expected to make a case for insanity, intending to argue the mom was experiencing postpartum psychosis when she allegedly brutally killed her kids.

Nolan Wells' friends sound like they thought he was dead during their frantic call for help as their boat was sinking off Horn Island ... at least according to some people's interpretation of background audio from the emergency call.

Some folks online also swear they hear someone saying "Nolan" ... right before you can clearly hear someone say, "Oh my God."

D4vd's attorneys presented evidence Monday -- during the fifth day of his preliminary hearing -- suggesting the family knew something was going on between Celeste and D4vd and did nothing to stop it.

Celeste's sister allegedly traveled with them to one of D4vd's shows in Las Vegas ... and a notarized travel form to her parents showed they allegedly gave consent for Celeste to travel to London for a week in 2024 without any other family members.
