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 Idaho judge overseeing Bryan Kohberger's murder case in the death of four college students has lifted a gag order that was in place since early 2023.

An Idaho judge on Thursday lifted the gag order that another judge imposed on convicted murderer Bryan Kohberger’s case. Earlier this month, Kohberger pleaded guilty to all five charges for fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students at a rental home in 2022. The guilty plea removed the death penalty as a possibility.
