Bryan Kohberger can face the death penalty if convicted of Idaho student murders, judge rules

Bryan Kohberger can face the death penalty if convicted of the murders of four University of Idaho students, a judge has ruled.

Ada County Judge Steven Hippler handed down his ruling on Wednesday, denying 12 motions filed by the 30-year-old’s defense team and finding that “there is no basis to depart from settled law upholding Idaho’s death penalty statute as constitutional.”
