Attorneys for Idaho murders suspect Bryan Kohberger are fighting to strike the death penalty in his high-profile case, arguing that the state has “no real means” of executing a convicted prisoner and that the so-called methods – which include an “inhumane” firing squad as an alternative – are “arbitrary” and “unconstitutional.”
Kohberger, 29, a former Washington State University criminology student who is accused of slaughtering four University of Idaho students at their off-campus home in November 2022, could be sentenced to death if convicted of the murders at his trial next summer.
