​Bryan Kohberger, charged with the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students, has filed a motion titled "Strike Death Penalty RE: Autism Spectrum Disorder" in an effort to remove the death penalty as a sentencing option if convicted. The details of this motion remain sealed, leaving it unclear whether Kohberger has been formally diagnosed with autism or if his defense team is pursuing such a diagnosis.

This strategy represents the latest attempt by Kohberger's defense to challenge the application of the death penalty in his case. Previously, his attorneys have argued that Idaho's methods of execution, such as lethal injection and firing squad, constitute cruel and unusual punishment, and that evolving standards in the U.S. reflect a shift away from capital punishment.
