In less than 24 hours,
the man accused of killing four
University of Idaho students is
set to appear in court for the
first time in almost five month.
Ryan Coberg is accused of killig
Ethan Chapin, Xana Crenodal,
Madison Mogen and Kaylee
Gonzalves back in November.
It took nearly two months for
authorities to arrest a suspect in the
case that rocked the Moscow community,
Now anticipations high for
tomorrow's arraignment,
considering that we weren't
expecting to see the suspect
back in court until late June,
but following a grand jury
indictment last week,
we'll see him in court tomorrow morning.
And in our effort to bring
you more to every story,
we asked the attorney representing the
Gonzalez family about the indict
and what that means for the gag order.
Right now, a gag order put in
place by Judge Megan Marshall
prevents law enforcement attorns
and the victim's families from
publicly speaking about the cas.
Shannon Gray says he's still
in the dark on what this means
after a new judge takes over.
The conundrum is that he's being arraigned
at 9:00 o'clock on Monday and t?
We have a scheduling conference on the non
dissemination gag order at 10:00 o'clock.
But the the issue with that is
that as soon as he's arraigned,
Judge Marshall is off the case
and it goes to Judge Judge.
Why are we having a scheduling
conference with Judge Marshall?
Gray says Judge John Judge is
set to take over the case.
Gray filed a motion to remove te
gag order and court documents.
He claimed he and the Gonzales family
should be allowed to speak publy
about the case under the First Amendment.
Again, that arraignment starts
at 9:00 o'clock tomorrow mornin.
Creme 2 will be there in the
courtroom when it does so.
Be sure to tune into Up With Cre

5:00 AM For a preview and for a

Meanwhile, right here in Spokand
the rest of the Inland Northwes,
smoke from the fires settled over the region,
causing a dip in our air quality this week.

more about what that entails fo.
