Judge Steven Hippler has lifted the “gag order” banning police and prosecutors from discussing their investigations into Bryan Kohberger, who has pleaded guilty to the brutal 2022 murders of four college students at the University of Idaho.

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.

A state district judge in Idaho lifted the gag order that largely obscured the case of Bryan Kohberger, who recently pleaded guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students in an off-campus house in November 2022.
