In the case CR01-24-31665, defendant Bryan Kohberger's legal team filed an Amended Motion to Strike the State’s Notice of Intent to Seek Death on the grounds that Idaho's execution methods—lethal injection and firing squad—constitute cruel and unusual punishment, violating the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. The defense argued that Idaho currently lacks the means to carry out executions humanely, citing issues such as the unavailability of lethal injection drugs and the potential psychological distress caused by prolonged uncertainty on death row.
During a hearing on November 7, 2024, Ada County District Judge Steven Hippler considered these arguments. The prosecution maintained that Idaho law provides for both lethal injection and firing squad as legal execution methods, asserting that the state retains the capability to enforce capital punishment. Judge Hippler agreed with the prosecution, noting that even if Kohberger were convicted and sentenced to death, it would likely be many years before an execution date, during which time methods and protocols could evolve. Consequently, on November 20, 2024, Judge Hippler denied the defense's motion, allowing the death penalty to remain a potential sentence in Kohberger's upcoming trial scheduled for August 2025.
