A judge ruled on Wednesday that Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in 2022, could face the death penalty if convicted. This decision comes after Kohberger's defense had sought to remove the death penalty option for the 29-year-old defendant.
Ada County Judge Steven Hippler denied the defense's motion to exclude the death penalty in his ruling. The prosecution has made it clear that they intend to pursue the death penalty if Kohberger is found guilty of the heinous crimes.
