Idaho murders: Bryan Kohberger DA calls in big guns from state to join death penalty case

The Idaho prosecutor responsible for the case against suspected college student killer Bryan Kohberger has called in two special assistant prosecutors from the state attorney general's office to help secure a conviction.

Kohberger faces four charges of first-degree murder and another charge of felony burglary for allegedly stabbing four University of Idaho students to death around 4 a.m. on Nov. 13 in a home invasion attack.

He could face the death penalty if convicted.

As Kohberger's defense team aims to fight the evidence used to arrest him at a June preliminary hearing, and claims that a surviving housemate has exculpatory evidence, Latah County Prosecuting Attorney Bill Thompson has brought in two prosecutors in the Idaho Attorney General's Office.
