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.”

The defense team for Bryan Kohberger argued in a court filing that the news organizations should have first asked the magistrate judge who issued the gag order to reverse it, though they acknowledged the state has no rule specifically allowing outside parties to intervene in criminal cases.

The bodies of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were found on Nov. 13, 2022, at a rental home across the street from the University of Idaho campus. The slayings shocked the rural Idaho community and neighboring Pullman, Washington, where Kohberger was a graduate student studying criminology at Washington State University.

An attorney representing the family of one of the victims has also filed an opposition to the gag order in state court. Shannon Grey, who represents the Goncalves family, said in that challenge that the gag order is unduly broad and places an undue burden on the families. Marshall said a hearing on the matter would be held after the Idaho Supreme Court issues a ruling on the news organizations’ challenge.

Idaho stabbing suspect Bryan Kohberger once worked as a fish cutterBryan Kohberger spent four months working as a fish cutter in Pennsylvania — years before he allegedly knifed four University of Idaho students to death last year, according to a new report. I was labeled a cheese cutter. Stinks to have that label now that explains a lot. cause I always wondered how none of the girls were screaming the whole street down & not even waking the house up. He must know how to cut them efficently. I can't wait for the next article about the Idaho Stabbing suspect!!!!
