Kohberger's 2025 Trial Challenges Execution Methods
News summary

Bryan Kohberger, accused of murdering four University of Idaho students in November 2022, appeared in court to challenge the death penalty, which prosecutors are seeking. The defense argues the death penalty is unconstitutional and highlights Idaho's lack of a consistent execution method, citing past failed executions as a constitutional violation. The trial venue was moved from Moscow to Boise due to concerns over impartiality and security. Kohberger's trial is scheduled for 2025, with pre-trial motions ongoing, focusing on the admissibility of evidence and the defense's alibi claims. The defense aims to exclude the death penalty, arguing it would result in cruel and unusual punishment under current state execution practices.
