BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho judge has lifted a sweeping gag order in Bryan Kohberger’s quadruple murder case. Kohberger avoided a potential death sentence by pleading guilty earlier this month to the brutal stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students at a rental home near campus in 2022.

The rights of the public to information in this case is paramount — given the fact that a plea has been entered in this case,” the presiding judge said.
