Kohberger Trial: Evidence and Death Penalty Sought

News summary

Prosecutors in the Bryan Kohberger murder trial intend to use a selfie taken just hours after the murder of four University of Idaho students as evidence. The photo, showing Kohberger smiling with a thumbs-up, is intended to support the testimony of a surviving roommate who described the intruder as having 'bushy eyebrows'. Kohberger's defense argues against the admissibility of this description, claiming it is unreliable and that his eyebrows are not bushy. Additionally, prosecutors have revealed that Kohberger purchased a knife on Amazon months prior to the killings, which they argue is connected to the murders. The trial is set to begin in August, and the prosecution seeks the death penalty if Kohberger is convicted. The defense is pushing to exclude certain evidence, including the witness testimony and the Amazon purchase history.
