STROUDSBURG, Pa. (AP) – A criminology graduate student charged in the slayings of four University of Idaho students has waived his right to an extradition hearing in Pennsylvania so he can be taken more quickly to Idaho to stand trial. Twenty-eight-year-old Bryan Kohberger was arrested on first-degree murder charges early Friday by state police at his parents’ home in eastern Pennsylvania and appeared in court there Tuesday. His attorney says the Washington State University criminology graduate student is eager to be exonerated and should be presumed innocent. Kohberger’s family expressed sympathy for the victims’ families but vowed to support him.
