Bryan Kohberger should face the death penalty if convicted of murder in deaths of four University of Idaho students, according to prosecutors.
Idaho prosecutors have asked a judge to reject arguments from Bryan Kohberger's defense team against the possibility of the death penalty in his quadruple murder trial – and to shut down his request to have an outside expert testify on constitutional issues surrounding the quest for capital punishment.
a.m. home invasion stabbing left four undergrads dead on Nov. 13, 2022 – Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20. Police found a Ka-Bar knife sheath under Mogen's body that allegedly had Kohberger's DNA on the snap. Kohberger faces four charges of first-degree murder and a count of felony burglary.
hearing on the death penalty issue was scheduled for Nov. 7. Kohberger's defense successfully argued for a change of venue earlier this year, taking the case from Latah County, where he had been incarcerated since January 2023, to Ada County, where he is expected to go to trial next year. Fox News' Audrey Conklin and Greg Wehner contributed to this report.
