Bryan Kohberger’s state-appointed attorney has indicated his client plans to waive extradition from his home state of Pennsylvania and has called the hearing a “formality proceeding.”
The suspect in the November slaying of four University of Idaho students may soon be in Idaho to face first-degree murder charges if, as expected, he doesn’t challenge his extradition to the Gem State in a Tuesday hearing. All the commonwealth needs to prove is that his client resembles or is the person on the arrest warrant and that he was in the area at the time of the crimes, Monroe County Chief Public Defender Jason LaBar told CNN’s Jean Casarez.
An FBI surveillance team tracked Kohberger for four days before his arrest while law enforcement worked with prosecutors to develop enough probable cause to get a warrant, the two law enforcement sources said. Other than the DNA and the car, details such as whether Kohberger knew the victims or a possible motive are not publicly known. The probable-cause affidavit, which would contain information to justify the suspect’s arrest, remains sealed until he appears in an Idaho court.
