BOISE, Idaho — An Idaho judge lifted a sweeping gag order Thursday in Bryan Kohberger’s quadruple murder case. 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.
