Fox News’ Chanley Painter reports the latest on Kohberger’s case.
A judge ruled on Thursday that prosecutors could seek the death penalty against Bryan Kohberger if he is found guilty of the 2022 slaying of four University of Idaho students.
Judge Steven Hippler’s decision comes after Kohberger’s attorneys asked the court to bar the sentence due to his autism diagnosis.
