A judge says Bryan Kohberger’s immediate family members may attend his upcoming quadruple-murder trial in the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students, even if they might be called to testify.

Bryan Kohberger has spent two and a half years locked in a maximum-security jail, isolated from other inmates and far from his family in Pennsylvania. But a new ruling out of Boise may offer his parents a bit of relief.

Bryan Kohberger’s immediate family will be allowed to attend the entirety of his upcoming capital murder trial, the presiding judge ruled.
