Kohberger defense shaping up to file to strike death penalty based on autism
- Bryan Kohberger's defense team filed a "Motion to Strike the Death Penalty Re: Autism Spectrum Disorder" to prevent the death penalty if he is convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students in 2022.
- The motion argues that aggravating factors are "unconstitutionally vague" and requests clarification on "lesser penalties" that exclude death.
- Prosecutors have stated they will seek the death penalty if Kohberger is convicted of the charges against him.
- The motion may be sealed, meaning it will not be publicly available, as noted by an Idaho courts spokesperson.
