An Idaho judge struck down another effort by Bryan Kohberger’s defense to remove the death penalty from the table if he is convicted in the 2022 slayings of four University of Idaho students.
Kohberger’s defense team tried to strike the death penalty in a recent hearing, arguing the discovery produced by the prosecution had been large in volume and unorganized, meaning they were unable to meaningfully review it. Judge Steven Hippler said the defense’s claims “ring hollow.”
