Bryan Kohberger is no longer being held in a Pennsylvania jail Wednesday morning after waiving his right to an extradition hearing the day prior.
A man facing first-degree murder charges in the slayings of four University of Idaho students has waived his right to an extradition hearing in Pennsylvania so he can be taken to Idaho more quickly.A criminology graduate student charged in the November slayings of four University of Idaho students is no longer being held in a Pennsylvania jail Wednesday morning after waiving his right to an extradition hearing the day prior.
But attorneys, law enforcement officers and others involved in the case won't be able to discuss the affidavit or other court documents after an Idaho magistrate judge on Tuesday evening issued a so-called gag order barring officials from talking publicly about many aspects of the case outside of court.
Kohberger, who was arrested by state police at his parents' home in eastern Pennsylvania on Friday, was held at a jail in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, until his extradition. Mogen, Goncalves and Kernodle lived in the three-story rental home with two other roommates. Kernodle and Chapin were dating, and he had been visiting the house that night.

In her gag order - formally called a "non-dissemination order" - Latah County Magistrate Judge Megan Marshall prohibited people involved in the case from talking about anything "reasonably likely to interfere with a fair trial of this case." That includes details about any evidence, the existence of any confessions or other statements given by the defendant, or the merits of the case, Marshall wrote in the order.
