During a Monday morning arraignment in Moscow, Idaho, a judge entered not guilty pleas for the man accused of stabbing to death four University of Idaho students last November.

Bryan Kohberger, 28, is charged with four counts of murder and one count of felony burglary in connection with the killings of Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20.

The not guilty pleas were entered in court on Monday after Kohberger was “standing silent,” according to NewsNation’s Senior National CorrespondentBrian Entinand Idaho Statesman reporterAngela Palermo, who were in the courtroom.

Investigators seized stained bedding, strands of what looked like hair and a single glove — but no weapon — when they searched the Washington state apartment of Kohberger, a graduate student, charged with stabbing four University of Idaho students to death, according to court documents newly unsealed on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2023.

When a defendant stands silent in court, they are exercising their right to remain silent.According to Palermo, the families of Mogen and Goncalves were also in the courtroom.

Goncalves, Mogen and Kernodle were roommates and Chapin was sleeping over with his girlfriend Kernolde.

At the time of the murders, Kohberger was a Ph.D criminology student at Washington State University in Pullman, Wash., which is about eight miles from the house where the students were slain in Moscow.

In aFebruary 24 memo, the University of Idaho announced they have plans to demolish the house where the students were stabbed to death after the owner of the house — located at 1122 King Road in Moscow — donated it to the school.
