Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in 2022, can face the death penalty, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Kohberger's defense has long-sought to remove the death penalty if the 29-year-old is convicted. 

On Wednesday, Ada County Judge Steven Hippler denied their motion in his ruling.

The prosecution noted that it intends to seek the death penalty if Kohberger is convicted.
