«Considering all evidence currently known to the State, the State is compelled to file this notice of intent to seek the death penalty,» a court document said.
Prosecutors in Idaho announced on Monday that they plan to seek the death penalty for Bryan Kohberger, who is accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students last November.
«The state gives this notice based on the fact that it has not been identified or been provided with any mitigating circumstances sufficient to prohibit the tiers of fact from considering all penalties authorized by the Idaho legislature including the possibility of a capital sentence,» Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson wrote in a court filing.
