Bryan Kohberger unleash -on -d -dialog for his support for the death penalty before he Murder of four university students Idaho.
Court documents obtained by Weekly US On Tuesday, August 19, he revealed that Kohberger had discussed capital penalty in one of his classes of the University of Washington Province in pursuing her PhD. According to the Docs, Kohberger was the “only” member of his class to support the death penalty.
Kohberger asked one of his fellow students who would support the death penalty if “her 12-year-old daughter was raped and murdered,” by the docs.
Details of the Kohberger case have continued to emerge more than a month after the guilty murderer received a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.
Kohberger broke into a house in Moscow, Idaho, on November 13, 2022, and Fatal stabbed college students Ethan Chapin. Xana Kernodle. Maddie and Kayleee GronCalves. He was arrested a month later.
Initially, Kohberger pleaded not guilty to the murders. Last month, as part of his deal, he pleaded guilty to four charges of first -degree murder and one count of felony burglary. He was sentenced to four years in prison for the crimes.
A trial would have begun this month if Kohberger had not received the plea deal. Idaho Prosecutor Bill Thompson confirmed in an interview following the sentencing of Kohberger that the prosecution would have tried the death penalty If the case had gone to a trial.
“This was certainly a case where the death penalty was appropriate,” he said Idaho statesman Late last month. “If we finished going through a trial to a penalty period, I think it has met the elements.”
He was also confident that Kohberger would be guilty if the case had gone to trial.
“Our thought is that this case is on track for a trial, and if that’s where it’s going, that’s where it’s going to go,” Thompson shared. “And we’re going to do our best job to introduce everything we think is legally relevant to help the jury make that decision.”
Thompson, who has been Latah’s County Prosecutor since 1992, also tackled widespread criticism for the Kohberger Ple Deal.
“I think we did our job, and we had the opportunity to do it in a way to put some immediate finalism, that it would not have happened if we had to go through a trial,” Thompson told the announcement. “We are pleased and proud that the community and the victims’ families will not have to continue to live through this and re -live this during a trial.”
