<p class="has-small-font-size"><strong>University of Idaho murder suspect, Bryan Christopher Kohberger, 28, was taken into custody early Friday by state police at his parents’ home in eastern Pennsylvania, arrives in court for extradition hearing</strong></p>



<p>Prosecutors are yet to provide a motive for Kohberger, and it remains unclear if he knew any of the victims. <br>He believes he’s going to be exonerated. That’s what he believes said his public defender, Jason LaBar. <br>Those details are expected to emerge in the probable cause affidavit, a charging document that remains sealed but that will become public once Kohberger is back in Idaho. <br>Kohberger&#8217;s family insists he is innocent. <br>&#8216;They don’t believe it to be Bryan. They can’t believe this. <br>&#8216;This is certainly completely out of character, the allegations, and really they&#8217;re just trying to be supportive with the understanding these four families have suffered loss, so they&#8217;re sympathetic towards that, and that&#8217;s why it should remain really private and they don&#8217;t want to try this case in the court of public opinion,&#8217; LaBar told <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-courts/family-idaho-murder-suspect-obviously-shocked-lawyer-says-rcna64008" target="_blank">NBC News.</a><br>LaBar said Kohberger has been &#8216;easy to talk to&#8217; and is confident he will be exonerated.<br>&#8216;He believes he’s going to be exonerated.
