Police have arrested Bryan Kohberger for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin on November 13, 2022 in Moscow, Idaho. This case caught my attention not just because of its horrifying facts, but because it's happening in my neck of the woods - Moscow is not far down the road from me and right across the border from Whitman County, Washington, where WSU is located and where I've handled multiple cases. To be honest, I was surprised at the news of the arrest because of how much time has elapsed since the killings. But now that the case is heading into court, there's no way I'm not going to be following it closely. In this video, I'll be giving a quick introduction to the legal processes we can expect to see in the short term - the extradition process in Pennsylvania and when Idaho will bring him into court. Besides the procedural rules, we'll also look at the charging standards for pursuing the death penalty in Idaho and when the probable cause affidavit - the document that sets forth the facts and evidence establishing probable cause for the arrest - will be released.
