Idaho Murders: Judge Allows Death Penalty Pursuit | JQJO

A judge ruled that prosecutors can pursue the death penalty against Bryan Kohberger, charged with murdering four University of Idaho students, despite his recent autism diagnosis. Kohberger's defense argued his autism reduces culpability and seeking the death penalty would be cruel and unusual punishment. Prosecutors countered that only intellectual disability precludes the death penalty, not autism. The trial is set for August, and the death penalty remains a possibility if Kohberger is convicted.
