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.

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.

BOISE, Idaho (Court TV) — Bryan Kohberger and his attorneys are back in court Thursday to argue against lifting the gag order in his high-profile quadruple murder case.
