Prosecutors in Idaho have announced that they will seek the death penalty for Bryan Kohberger, the man suspected of killing four University of Idaho students last fall.
New documents filed by the Latah County Prosecutor’s office in Moscow state that the circumstances of the stabbings meet multiple state codes for pursuing the death penalty.
Kohberger will be in court this week as his defense team argues for more time to review the evidence amassed by the prosecution. More than 10,000 photographs and 51 terabytes of digital materials have been submitted in the case. Kohberger’s trial is scheduled for October 2.
