An Idaho judge lifted a sweeping gag order in Bryan Kohberger’s case following his guilty plea for the brutal stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students in 2022. The Associated Press and other news organizations pushed for the order’s removal, which was granted to protect public and press First Amendment rights. With the trial canceled, the court deemed the order unnecessary as the case information should be accessible to all. Originally imposed for an impartial jury, the gag order is no longer relevant. Bryan Kohberger confessed to the crimes, meticulously planning the attack, despite no prior connection to the victims.
