Kohberger's defense team asked the courts to re-consider the death penalty given Kohberger's autism spectrum disorder diagnosis.

His attorneys argued that there is an “unconscionable risk” he’ll be executed because of a neurological disorder rather than culpability.

Bryan Kohberger’s defense team may ask a judge to take the death penalty away as an option for their client by citing autism spectrum disorder, a sealed court filing shows. The team representing the man who is accused of killing four University of Idaho students in their off-campus house in November 2022 filed the document Monday.
