Defense attorneys asked to keep a gag order in place, saying a challenge to the order filed by 30 news organizations is premature and that media coverage of the case has been 'twisted.'
BOISE, Idaho — Defense attorneys for a man accused of stabbing four University of Idaho students to death asked the Idaho Supreme Court on Friday to keep a gag order in place, saying a challenge to the order filed by 30 news organizations is premature and that media coverage of the case has been"twisted."
Kohberger, 28, is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and burglary in connection with the stabbing deaths in Moscow, Idaho. Prosecutors have yet to reveal if they intend to seek the death penalty. The coalition of news organizations, which includes The Associated Press, contends the gag order violates the right to free speech by prohibiting it from happening in the first place.
"This is not a case where the attorneys seek to use the rules as a weapon against one another. It is a case where a young man is on trial for his life," Logsdon wrote."There was nothing inappropriate about the Magistrate Court reminding the attorneys involved of their ethical obligations."
