BOISE, Idaho — Lawyers for Bryan Kohberger are filing over a dozen briefs to remove the death penalty option for their client.
These filings challenge objections from state prosecutors earlier this month who wish to see Kohberger executed if he is found guilty.
Court documents argue that the move for the death penalty is “inconsistent, outdated or unconstitutional.”
Kohberger faces charges for the deaths of four University of Idaho students in Moscow, which occurred in November 2022. His trial is scheduled for August of next year.
