Man charged in Idaho student murders to waive Pennsylvania court appearance

Suspect, 28, accused of killing four students will waive his extradition hearing and will be brought to Idaho to face charges

Bryan Kohberger, the 28-year-old criminology graduate student charged first-degree murder in the macabre killings of four University of Idaho students, plans to waive an appearance in court in Pennsylvania on Tuesday where Idaho prosecutors will request his extradition, his lawyer indicated on Saturday.

Pennsylvania's Monroe county chief public defender, Jason LaBar, said on Saturday that he plans to tell a judge there on Tuesday that Kohberger will waive his extradition hearing there so that he can be quickly brought to Idaho to face the charges and is eager to be exonerated.
