Bryan Kohberger hearing is starting now in Boise, Idaho.Defense expected to argue to have the death penalty taken off the table.

Judge in Bryan Kohberger case will continue to allow him to appear in civilian clothes -- suit and tie.Says it will not be a security issue.


Bryan Kohberger defense is arguing the death penalty should be taken off the table because "there is no means of execution" right now. Judge is clarifying the protocol is lethal injection and firing squad as a second option.


Kohberger defense says the firing squad death option was brought about because of the shortage of lethal injection drugs.They claim there are problems with the firing squad -- and funding to get it built.She is trying to argue Kohberger will just sit on death row if convicted.


Kohberger defense is arguing the "anxiety and fear" of sitting on death row not knowing how you will be killed is unconstitutional.


Kohberger judge says he will take the defense's argument about the death penalty under advisement and issue a ruling later.If convicted -- defense said it is "dehumanization" for Kohberger to sit on death row not knowing how he would be killed.


Weird how some things stick with you and you keep thinking about them.When I rented my car from Avis in Raleigh for election coverage, there was a big electric fence around the rental lot. Like Jurassic Park.I asked the guy - he said "so many stolen cars we had to do it.”


Kohberger hearing just ended.Judge did not make any major decisions regarding the death penalty — said he will issue written rulings at a later date.


 
Attorneys and experts will discuss the death penalty today in Boise at a hearing in the Bryan Kohberger case. Starts at 8:30 a.m.

First order of business is whether Kohberger can wear street clothes at public hearings. Ten items on today’s to-do list. Potential death penalty method to be discussed.


Interesting discussion on how Idaho carries out executions in #Kohberger hearing right now. Lethal injection, firing squad are options, but new methods could be available in future.

Bryan Kohberger and his attorneys met a steady stream of skepticism from the judge overseeing the murder suspect’s case at a hearing Thursday as they continued their push to drop the death penalty as a sentencing option.

Judge Steven Hippler, of Idaho’s 4th Judicial District, interjected frequently as the defense and prosecution volleyed arguments about Kohberger’s possible punishment if he is convicted at trial next summer of killing four University of Idaho students.

But the Ada County judge particularly challenged the defense about a litany of supposed justifications they presented to try to convince him to take the death penalty off the table – when the Idaho and U.S. supreme courts have established it as an option under the law.

In Idaho murder case, Kohberger’s defense argues death penalty ‘ought to be abolished’

I've looked into my crystal ball which tells me the death penalty stays in this case LOL
 
Thinking about Maddie, Kaylee, Ethan and Xana today. I didn’t know them, of course, but have looked at photos of them hundreds of times as I’ve covered their tragic, horrific murders. Thinking of their families. Every day is hard but today has to be excruciating. RIP

The loss is still as painful as it was two years ago. If you ever happen to be in Coeur d’Alene, take a moment to stop by Xana’s memorial bench in City Park off the Centennial Trail overlooking Lake Coeur d’Alene, thanks to the efforts by the Made With Kindness Foundation.
