Judge lifts sweeping gag order in Idaho murders case after Bryan Kohberger pleads guilty

An Idaho judge lifted a sweeping gag order in Bryan Kohberger's quadruple murder case on Thursday.

Bryan Kohberger avoided a potential death sentence by pleading guilty earlier this month to the brutal stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students at a rental home near campus in 2022.

A coalition of news organizations, including CBS News and The Associated Press, had asked the court to lift the gag order since a trial is no longer planned. They renewed their request after Kohberger pleaded guilty.
