1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Crime Art hourly update, breaking crime news Now. I'm Jackie Howard. 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: Brian Coberger will be sentenced on Wednesday for his admission 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: that he murdered four University of Idaho students. The proceeding 4 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,319 Speaker 1: will be live stream nine am Mountain time from the 5 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: Ada County Courthouse in Boise. With Coburger's guilty plea, he 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: avoided a potential death sentence from once. There has been 7 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: a sweeping gag order surrounding this case. Now Fourth District 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: Judge Stephen Hipler agreed to lift that order. Media representatives 9 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: also asked Hitler to immediately unseal hundreds of documents in 10 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,319 Speaker 1: the case, but the judge says he would go through 11 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: the documents carefully to determine which ones could be made public. 12 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,639 Speaker 1: That process will not start until after Wednesday's sentencing. Our 13 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: Nicole Parton has more on what the lifted order means. 14 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 2: Allowing attorneys, prosecutors, law enforcement personnel, and others associated with 15 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: this notable case to communicate freely with the media. 16 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 3: It is a little bit like a you know, water 17 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 3: will find low ground. In this case, the media is 18 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 3: going to write about something regardless about this case. The 19 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 3: lifting the non semination order does not require the council 20 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 3: or others who were previously bound by it to speak, 21 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 3: and the state is indicated they don't intend to until 22 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 3: after the sentencing. At this point, I just don't think 23 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 3: that I can justify the continuation of the non semination order. 24 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 3: I think the rights of the public to information in 25 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 3: this case is paramount. 26 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: Hitler determined that the gag order was unnecessary now that 27 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: Coberger has entered a guilty plea, meaning the case will 28 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: not proceed to trial. The broad order had been in 29 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: effect since twenty twenty three and faced challenges from multiple 30 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: news outlets, which argued it infringed upon the First Amendment 31 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 2: rights of a free press. Earlier in July, the thirty 32 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 2: year old Coburger pleaded guilty to the murders and accepted 33 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 2: a plea deal that intels serving four consecutive life sentences. 34 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: This agreement, which has sparked differing opinions among the victim's families, 35 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: enabled Colburger to evade the death penalty and a highly 36 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: publicized trial. Prosecutors revealed that Coburger, a criminal justice student 37 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: at the time of the murders, had meticulously premeditated the 38 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 2: attack that resulted in the deaths of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Consalvez, 39 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: Zana Kernudle, and Ethan Chapman. The students were discovered dead 40 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: in a rental home near the University of Idaho campus 41 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: on November thirteen, twenty twenty two. Investigators pointed to DNA evidence, 42 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: self PHONNE data, and surveillance footage that linked Colberger to 43 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: the stabbings, which since shockwaves through the campus community and 44 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 2: left residents of Moscow, a peaceful college town in northern Idaho, terrified. 45 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: Motive for Brian Coberger's attack on the four students is 46 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: still unknown.

The decision 145 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 2: made here could greatly influence the proceedings of an already 146 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: intricate and highly scrutinized case. Despite the highlighted public interest, 147 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 2: the actual trial may still be far off, with the 148 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 2: defense indicating that it is unlikely to start before twenty 149 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: twenty six. Before setting a trial date. The court must 150 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: first rule on the admissibility of the DNA evidence and 151 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: address the defense's request to separate the cases.
