Order Denying Kohberger's Motion To Strike The Death Penalty Or Adopt Other Procedures (Part 1)

Order Denying Kohberger's Motion To Strike The Death Penalty Or Adopt Other Procedures (Part 1)

In this April 29, 2025 order, Judge John C. Judge denies Bryan Kohberger’s motion to strike the death penalty from the case and his accompanying request to implement alternative trial procedures based on that removal. Kohberger’s defense had argued that the State’s intent to seek the death penalty was flawed due to alleged constitutional and procedural defects, including vague statutory language, the burden imposed on the defense, and the manner in which aggravating factors were presented. However, the court rejected these claims, finding that Idaho’s death penalty procedures are legally sound and do not warrant dismissal at this stage. Judge Judge emphasized that many of the defense’s arguments are better suited for consideration after the trial, during the sentencing phase or through appellate review if a conviction occurs.


Additionally, the court declined to adopt the defense’s suggested modifications to trial procedures, such as a bifurcated guilt-and-sentencing structure or adjustments to jury selection criteria. Judge Judge ruled that existing Idaho criminal procedures provide sufficient due process and that there is no legal basis to preemptively alter them based solely on the possibility of a capital sentence. The ruling solidifies the prosecution’s ability to pursue the death penalty against Kohberger, keeping capital punishment on the table if he is convicted of the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students.
