The judge overseeing Bryan Kohberger’s murder case involving the death of four University of Idaho students ruled that the death penalty will remain an option. Kohberger is accused of the quadruple homicide in 2022. Newly released body camera footage revealed a prior connection to a home invasion in Pullman, Washington, with similarities to the university murders. Despite being a person of interest in the break-in case, Kohberger’s height does not match the victim’s description, leading to questions about his involvement.
Kohberger, a Ph.D. student at Washington State University, faces first-degree murder charges and a burglary charge for the tragic incident in Moscow, Idaho. With the trial set to begin in August 2025, the defense may explore the connection to the Pullman case to raise reasonable doubt. As the case unfolds, updates on Kohberger’s court appearances and the legal proceedings will be crucial in determining the outcome of this high-profile crime.
