sandra: mercedes joins us in a moment, but first, matt is live on the ground in moscow, idaho. kohberger entered a rather unusual or uncommon plea today. we did not hear much from him, that s a big part of it. that s right, a couple minutes ago inside of the county courthouse, the attorneys for bryan kohberger told the judge they will stay silent on all five charges related to this murder case. therefore, the judge entered default not guilty plea for bryan kohberger and his attorney asked for a six-week trial beginning in october and no sides objected to that date. kohberger appeared in person in the past hour inside the courtroom wearing orange prison garb and this courtroom is basically a walking distance from the murder site where the four students were killed shortly before last thanksgiving. kohberger was wearing orange prison garb, looking extremely alert and observant. answered loud and clear, and today he was arraigned on four charges of murder in the first-degree
