  Speaker 1: Brian Coberger will be sentenced on Wednesday for his admission
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: that he murdered four University of Idaho students. The proceeding
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: will be live stream nine am Mountain time from the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Ada County Courthouse in Boise. With Coburger's guilty plea, he
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: avoided a potential death sentence from once. There has been
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: a sweeping gag order surrounding this case. Now Fourth District
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Judge Stephen Hipler agreed to lift that order. Media representatives
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: also asked Hitler to immediately unseal hundreds of documents in
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the case, but the judge says he would go through
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the documents carefully to determine which ones could be made public.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: That process will not start until after Wednesday's sentencing. Our
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Nicole Parton has more on what the lifted order means.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Allowing attorneys, prosecutors, law enforcement personnel, and others associated with
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: this notable case to communicate freely with the media.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: It is a little bit like a you know, water
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: will find low ground. In this case, the media is
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: going to write about something regardless about this case. The
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: lifting the non semination order does not require the council
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: or others who were previously bound by it to speak,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: and the state is indicated they don't intend to until
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: after the sentencing. At this point, I just don't think
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: that I can justify the continuation of the non semination order.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I think the rights of the public to information in
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: this case is paramount.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Hitler determined that the gag order was unnecessary now that
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Coberger has entered a guilty plea, meaning the case will
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: not proceed to trial. The broad order had been in
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: effect since twenty twenty three and faced challenges from multiple
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: news outlets, which argued it infringed upon the First Amendment
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: rights of a free press. Earlier in July, the thirty
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: year old Coburger pleaded guilty to the murders and accepted
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: a plea deal that intels serving four consecutive life sentences.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: This agreement, which has sparked differing opinions among the victim's families,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: enabled Colburger to evade the death penalty and a highly
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: publicized trial. Prosecutors revealed that Coburger, a criminal justice student
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: at the time of the murders, had meticulously premeditated the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: attack that resulted in the deaths of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Consalvez,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Zana Kernudle, and Ethan Chapman. The students were discovered dead
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: in a rental home near the University of Idaho campus
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: on November thirteen, twenty twenty two. Investigators pointed to DNA evidence,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: self PHONNE data, and surveillance footage that linked Colberger to
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the stabbings, which since shockwaves through the campus community and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: left residents of Moscow, a peaceful college town in northern Idaho, terrified.
