His body was found in the New York Canal near Kuna about two weeks later.
An Ada County grand jury indictment says the boy was tortured, beaten repeatedly and ultimately killed by Ehrlick.
It was also revealed in court Thursday that the defense is asking that the case be separated between the two suspects.
A hearing will be held Dec. 10 to go over the change of venue motion.
In October, Greg Bower, Ada County prosecutor, announced that the prosecution would not seek the death penalty against Jenkins and Ehrlick.
