  • Summary

  • ​In the case identified as Case Number CR01-24-31665, defendant Bryan C. Kohberger's legal team has filed a motion titled "Motion to Strike Death Penalty RE: Autism Spectrum Disorder." This motion asserts that Kohberger's diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diminishes his culpability, undermines the retributive and deterrent objectives of capital punishment, and increases the risk of wrongful conviction and sentencing. The defense emphasizes that ASD impairs communication, reasoning, social skills, and impulse control, factors that should be considered when determining appropriate sentencing.

    The motion further argues that executing individuals with ASD contradicts evolving standards of decency and that such defendants may struggle to effectively assist in their defense or convey remorse, potentially leading to unfair sentencing. The defense highlights the heightened need for reliability in capital cases and contends that ASD-related impairments could result in misinterpretations by jurors, thereby increasing the likelihood of an erroneous death sentence.
