MOSCOW, Idaho — The Washington State University graduate student accused of murdering four University of Idaho students won’t fight plans to extradite him to Idaho, his lawyer says.
Jason LaBar, the chief public defender in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, and the attorney representing Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old Ph.D. candidate in criminology from Pennsylvania, told the Idaho Statesman that Kohberger will waive his extradition rights at his court hearing Tuesday.
Kohberger, of Albrightsville, was arrested by Pennsylvania State Police about 1:45 a.m. Friday at a home in nearby Chestnuthill Township, which a prosecutor told The New York Times is the house of Kohberger’s parents. Waiving rights has to be done in front of a judge, LaBar told the Statesman on Saturday by phone.
