The accused killer of four University of Idaho students will face the death penalty in November after prosecutors decided to seek the maximum sentence in the gruesome slayings.
Bryan Kohberger, 28, could land on death row after being charged with felony burglary and four counts of first-degree murder over the killings of Ethan Chapin, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves, prosecutors said in a filing on Monday.
“The State gives this notice based on the fact that it has not identified or been provided with any mitigating circumstances sufficient to prohibit the triers of fact from considering all penalities authorized by the Idaho legislature including the possibility of a capital sentence,” prosecutors wrote in a Monday court filing.
