Idaho County Prosecuting Attorney Bill Thompson has revealed his plans to pursue the death penalty in the case of Bryan Kohberger, who stands accused of the brutal slayings of four University of Idaho students.
The charges against Kohberger involve the tragic stabbings that claimed the lives of Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. During his arraignment on May 22, Kohberger pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The case captured the nation’s attention and left the community living in fear before Kohberger’s arrest.
As reported by CNN, a trial has been scheduled for October 2, where the evidence will be presented and the legal proceedings will take place.
