Bryan Kohberger's Death Penalty Battle Heads to Court

TL;DR Summary
A hearing is set to determine if Bryan Kohberger, accused of murdering four University of Idaho students, can face the death penalty if convicted. Prosecutors argue that Kohberger poses a continuing threat, citing multiple aggravating factors, while the defense challenges the death penalty's constitutionality and the relevance of "future dangerousness." The trial, moved to Boise due to potential local bias, will include DNA and cellphone evidence. Idaho's death penalty process faces challenges, including drug procurement issues, though a law now permits firing squad executions.
