“Moscow Police will not give specifics about Bryan Kohberger's transportation to Idaho because of security concerns. Once there – he will be served with the arrest warrant for the murders. Then the probable cause affidavit will be unsealed.
Kohberger will have an initial court appearance where a magistrate judge will explain to him his rights and the charges against him. Kohberger will not be asked his plea during this hearing. This is when a preliminary hearing is scheduled.
Based on the court orders– it does appear cameras will be allowed in the Idaho courtroom. Once back in Idaho -- we are told Kohberger will be held in the Latah County Jail.”
