Idaho Prosecutors Insist on Death Penalty for Bryan Kohberger

Kohberger faces capital punishment if convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students, as prosecutors counter defense arguments against its use.

• Prosecutors have submitted 13 legal briefs opposing the defense's request to remove the death penalty from consideration in Bryan Kohberger's trial.
• Kohberger is accused of the November 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
• The defense argues that public opinion has shifted against the death penalty and that execution methods violate constitutional amendments.
• Prosecutors contend that Idaho precedent and Supreme Court rulings support the death penalty's application in this case.
• Kohberger remains in custody in Ada County, Idaho, with his trial tentatively set for June 2025 following a change of venue due to potential juror bias.
