CNN: Family of Idaho Student Murders Suspect Releases Statement; ‘We Will Continue to Let the Legal Process Unfold’

EXCERPT:

CASAREZ: "I’ve got the statement and I want you to hear it. The attorney for Bryan Kohberger tells me that his family is not allowed to visit him at the correctional facility, which is where he’s housed right behind me, so the very last time they did see him was on the early morning hours of Friday because he was arrested at the family home. And the attorney tells me his father was actually the one that answered the door. They now have released that statement and I want to read it to you. It says, 'First and foremost, we care deeply for the four families who have lost their precious children. There are no words that can adequately express the sadness we feel, and we pray each day for them. We will continue to let the legal process unfold, and as a family we will love and support our son and brother. We have fully cooperated with law enforcement agencies in an attempt to seek the truth and promote his presumption of innocence rather than judge unknown facts and make erroneous assumptions. We respect privacy in this matter as our family and the families suffering loss can move forward through the legal process.' And that legal process will continue Tuesday, 3:00 P.M. Eastern Time. It is the extradition hearing that will be right here in northeastern Pennsylvania. And we do understand, through his attorney, that he will waive extradition so he can be expedited back to Idaho."
