Murder In Moscow: Judge Hippler Hits Bryan Kohberger With Another Disastrous Ruling

Judge John Judge of Idaho firmly rejected Bryan Kohberger’s latest legal maneuver to challenge the death penalty, dismissing his claim that Idaho's execution methods—specifically the firing squad—are unconstitutional. Kohberger’s defense argued that the state’s reintroduction of the firing squad as a backup method for executions constituted cruel and unusual punishment, thus violating the Eighth Amendment. However, Judge Judge ruled that since the firing squad hasn’t actually been used in Idaho yet, and lethal injection remains the primary method, the argument was premature and speculative. He emphasized that Kohberger's execution method isn’t an active issue at this stage of the proceedings.


The ruling marks another significant setback for Kohberger's legal team, which has made several unsuccessful attempts to derail the state’s pursuit of the death penalty. Kohberger faces four counts of first-degree murder in the brutal November 2022 stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students. Prosecutors have made clear their intent to seek capital punishment, citing the heinous and calculated nature of the crime.
