Attorneys for Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger will ask the court to drop the death penalty sentence if he is found guilty in the 2022 deaths of four University of Idaho students next year.

Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger returns to court Thursday, where his defense hopes to have the death penalty taken off the table before trial.

Defense attorney Anne Taylor argued that keeping a person on death row without a way to execute them is ‘dehumanizing’

Attorneys for a man charged in the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students asked a judge to take the death penalty off the table Thursday, arguing that international, federal and state law all make it inappropriate for the case.

Bryan Kohberger was in court Thursday morning for a hearing over whether or not the death penalty will remain an option in this case moving forward.
