Hey everyone, I'm Ashley Banfield and this is Drop Dead Serious. You've probably heard if you follow the

Idaho quadruple murder case that the judge in the case made a big decision this morning. And that is

to lift the gag order. Hallelujah. Two and a half years, we've been under that suffocating

order, right, which has kept not only you, the public, and the media, who is the conduit to you,

but also the families of the victims from ever really knowing what happened to their loved ones,

what happened to their kids, their sister, their brother. I mean, they have been

in excruciating pain trying to find out answers about this horrendous case because it is just

so confounding. Who does what Brian Coburger did? Who does this? And why? They are still mystified,

and here's what the judge's order really means.

It means that people associated with the case are no longer prevented from speaking about it.

Doesn't mean they're going to. I've made many, many phone calls today. My team has called

the coroner. We've called the police. We've called associates who've been involved in the investigation,

and we're being denied all sorts of interviews. It may be because they hate us. called the police. We've called associates who've been involved in the investigation and were being

denied all sorts of interviews. It may be because they hate us, I get it, but it also may be

because they don't want to speak until the sentencing is over next week. Even though the judge

told them today, they can. What hasn't happened that is really the crux of this non-dissemination order is the roughly

250 motions that have been filed in this Idaho courtroom under seal, remain under seal.

For now, every single one of them effectively needs to be treated separately. Some of them need to be

unsealed only through a Freedom of Information Act and then a court action. They have to be

redacted because let's be frank, you and I do not have the right to everything. Okay. There is dignity

in death, even though there's basically none. We do need to

offer dignity to the victims of this horrendous crime. Kaylee and Maddie and Zanna and Ethan
