Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of stabbing four University of Idaho students, could face execution by firing squad if convicted and the state cannot obtain the necessary Lethal Injection Drugs. Latah County prosecutors will seek the death penalty for Kohberger, who is facing four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. Idaho's new law, effective from July 1, allows for execution by firing squad if lethal injection drugs are unavailable. Kohberger's trial is set for October 2 and is expected to last six weeks. Manufacturers have become reluctant to supply drugs for executions.
