Prosecutors say they wanted to spare the families of four University of Idaho students killed in November 2022 by agreeing to a plea deal that would see the confessed killer avoid a possible death sentence.

Idaho prosecutors withdraw support for the gag order in Bryan Kohberger's quadruple murder case following his guilty pleas, stating his right to a fair trial is 'no longer at issue'

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.
