Idaho Student Murders: Hearing Set to Fight Gag Order in Bryan Kohberger Case

Weeks after accused killer Bryan Kohberger was arrested, the judge issued a gag order on all parties involved in the case, including family members of the victims. Numerous media outlets, including Law&Crime Network, requested to lift the gag order for public information purposes. Now, a motions hearing is scheduled for May 25, where the final decision will be made. Law&Crime reporter Sierra Gillespie has the details.

  1. What's really interesting to me is the fact that it's always the Gonsalves family that's involved.. None of the other families are mentioned…

  2. Steve Goncalves, the father of Kaylee Congalves, has a severe problem with the democratic law system. He aims to hunt Mr. Kohberger like in an old western tradition, to say it kind, or like in totalitarian european or arabian systems – to say it in modern political science vocabulary. Steve Goncalves needs to learn about the law system in his own country – even me as a European German could tell him the difference between a dictatorship and a democratic system.

  3. I think because of the brutality and the nature of this crime, it should be televised. This monster, if found guilty, should pay for this horrific crime and this case should be heard by the public as it happens

  4. I don't understand how you didn't have a problem frying Bundy. But this guy is a saint for helping a few students because he felt like it? Where is your death sentence? I refuse to pay tax on these low life.

  5. I strongly believe Bryan Kohberger commited this crime and I hope he gets the max punishment as I hope the prosecutors can convince the 12 jurors. Because of the gag order I doubt we even know how much more evidence the prosecution has but from what I know so far I am convinced Bryan killed them.

    I know first there will be a preliminary hearing, not the trial, I know that but I am confident the prosecution will show enough probable cause for Kohberger to have to go to trial and than when the trial does happen is what I mean i hope he is found guilty but I understand first there is the hearing.

    Please don't take this as disrespectful to the victims, I want the victims to get justice but why haven't they shown pictures of the crime scene and the bodies? Look at Ted Bundy's killings at that college, there are crime scene photos online…. The reason I want the public to see just how grizzly and grusome the crime scene is , is because to remind people exactly what this Man did to those four people. This is not a movie, or a play, these murders were so brutal and real, real people suffered so much being murdered and lost their lives. .

    There are crime scene photos of Ted Bundy's victims. I am just wondering why the crime scene photos have not been released to visually show people the heinous and brutal killings of these four people who will never see another day. They suffered so bad.

  6. Maybe it’s so the defendant can have a fair trial? We all want to know what happened but the accused getting a fair trial outweighs public scrutiny, imo. Nobody wants him to walk free if he did it right?

  7. All I can think of is when they do the forensic testimony it’s gonna get very graphic and they will expose everything that happened and what the poor victims endured. Gonna be very difficult for the loved ones to hear and see all of that.

  8. Unseal the documents. Let them speak through their filings, as the prosecution always does anyway. The vaulted secrecy here is absurd. It fuels all kinds of rumors. You don't tell people information, they fill in the blanks themselves. This is not "news." It's human nature. And, this overly obtrusive gag order is causing more problems than it is doing good.

  9. Just UNSEAL the documents on the Docket. This is ridiculous. They're acting like no one would ever be convicted or acquitted unless there is a gag order in place. Alex Murdaugh wouldn't have been convicted and Casey Anthony wouldn't have be acquitted IF ONLY THEY HAD A GAG ORDER.🙄

  10. Of course they are fighting the gag order. It doesn't allow them to continue their media circuit where they blab all over the internet the details of the case.

  11. It could potentially hurt any cohesion on the prosecutors side, if the families of the victims or surviving roommates say anything publicly…couldn’t it? Could it not work out potentially in the defenses favor? I hope if this motion is granted it doesn’t put wedges between all of the victims and other roommates families.

  12. I'm not really in agreement with this push against the gag order. It's put in place to get a fair jury if it gets to that point. Talking to the media at this point only hurts the case. Yes. Everyone wants to know. But patience! In due time it will all be revealed. Until then I feel it's best to respect the gag order! I'd hate for a criminal to walk away due to a technicality!!
