State seeks death penalty for suspect in University of Idaho student slayings.

Prosecutors in Idaho are seeking the death penalty against Bryan Kohberger, who is accused of stabbing four University of Idaho students to death in November 2022. Kohberger has been charged with four counts of murder and a not-guilty plea was entered on his behalf earlier this year. The slayings shocked the rural Idaho community and neighboring Pullman, Washington, where Kohberger was a graduate student studying criminology at Washington State University. Defense attorneys have filed motions asking the court to order prosecutors to turn over more evidence about the DNA found during the investigation, the searches of Kohberger’s phone and social media records, and the surveillance footage used to identify the make and model of the car.
