Bryan Kohberger can face death penalty if convicted in Idaho college murders, judge rules

Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger can face the death penalty if convicted in the 2022 stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students, a judge has ruled.

Ada County Judge Steven Hippler denied 12 defense motions in Tuesday's 55-page ruling after Kohberger's defense team tried to get the death penalty removed from sentencing in the event of a guilty verdict.
