Accused Idaho murderer Bryan Kohberger could face a firing squad if he is found guilty for the quadruple homicide of four college students last year.
Lawyers are believed to be gearing up for the possibility of a death penalty trial for the 28-year-old criminal justice major - who remains the only suspect in the November 13 slayings of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20 and Xana Kernodle, 20.
Prosecutors haven't yet indicated whether they intend to pursue the death penalty for Kohberger, although it seems likely they will, given the gravity of his alleged crimes.

He may get what he knew might come by the road he took; so, go cherish your outcome. When you are shot in the heart you don't immediately lose consciousness, giving them a short bit to relish in the consequences of their actions.

Would it not be simpler to put his neck into a noose and drop him to Jesus, the final judge?

Replace "could" with "will" in the story headline.

Author of this article might want to brush up on the term: ex post facto.

I do not believe the crimes were "alleged". There are 4 dead people, stabbed in their sleep.

Swell idea. But why not the Chinese death of 1000 cuts?

Not to go off topic but why isn't that SC case that is getting saturation coverage a death penalty case. Two people were murdered. I'd prefer the Idaho murderer be shot with 22 shorts in the groin and knee cap so he could experience some pain before Old Scratch comes for him.

Under American system of justice he is accused until convicted. His (not the) crimes remain “alleged” until then as well.

Works for me. But I would prefer that he die in the same manner that he killed his victims.

IMHO the firing squad is one of the better methods of execution and perhaps the best one.. The multiple shooters make death both certain and extremely fast. One shot may fail, ten will not.
Nearly every other method such as hanging, gas chamber, deadly drugs, and electrocution seems to sometimes fail or unexpectedly prolong suffering. And some such as the electric chair require the siting and maintenance of unique equipment.

Utah didn't "recently" bring back the firing squad. It always had it. It was the method used to execute Gary Gilmore in 1976, which was the first execution after it was banned by the Supreme Court.

Many people would probably pay to watch a live-to-dead event on TV.

As much as I abhor the taking of a human life, there are some crimes that demand justice for the law-abiding public. This is one and others come to mind...Ted Bundy is one good example. My cousin was a USMC officer in the Korean War and was tasked with assembling a firing squad for a Marine that was convicted of raping and murdering a South Korean woman. Some things have to be done. What I cannot understand is the pro-abortion advocates who hold candlelight vigils for convicted murderers yet actually push the murdering of innocent children in their mother's womb.

#4, I don't believe that ex post facto will be an issue here (though the defense will likely throw up every hurdle it can). Idaho's death penalty, and the offenses which can lead to it, are already defined by statute. What is before the Legislature now is the proposal to add execution by firing squad to the existing method of lethal injection. This is primarily so that if Woke Pharma won't provide the drugs, there is an alternative for removing the individual's metabolic carbon emissions.
If this case proceeds to that point, I hope consideration would be given to allowing the victims' family members to participate. (There's a "Squad" I think we all could support!)

Shooting is too humane for this monster. I suggest he be staked down in a giant mound of fire ants until only his pathetic skeleton remains.

You can reuse a rope. A bullet or a lethal injection is just gone.

By whatever means. Just don’t take 20 years to do it. Justice delayed is justice denied.

Sounds like an ex post facto law that would be unconstitutional if passed? I believe to be constitutional a law has to already have been in effect at the time a crime was committed to be held against a criminal perpetrator. Maybe I am wrong and a lawyer will comment.

They should sell permits to participate. Like getting a deer tag.

#17...good one. I think tying him behind an ATV and dragging him everywhere would be good.

Re #12: In the 1970s Utah had two methods of execution, hanging or shooting. Gary Gilmore chose the firing squad, and his eyes (at least) went to a person who needed them. I doubt if his heart was transplantable after five .308 Winchester (or such) slugs passed through it.
