Idaho slayings suspect agrees to extradition to face charges

A criminology graduate student accused of the November slayings of four University of Idaho students agreed Tuesday to be extradited from Pennsylvania, where he was arrested last week, to face charges in Idaho. Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old doctoral student at Washington State University — a short drive from the murder scene in the neighboring state — will be transported to Idaho within 10 days. Wearing a red jumpsuit with his hands shackled in front of him, Kohberger showed little emotion during Tuesday's brief hearing in a Pennsylvania courtroom in which he acknowledged facing four counts of first-degree murder and a burglary charge. He waived his right to fight extradition. His attorney says Kohberger is eager to be exonerated and should be presumed innocent.

Fighting for regulatory relief for Idaho farmers, ranchers

Federal agricultural-related regulation too often results in more time, more paperwork, more money, more ambiguity, more headaches and more stress for those working to get food on our tables without any real benefits for workers, consumers, taxpayers or the environment. Regulations should be carefully thought through and reviewed, with consideration of the farm families charged with integrating these policies into their operations. If the benefits do not considerably outweigh the costs, the regulation is outdated or just too heavy-handed, it should be scrapped.
