BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The lead prosecutor tasked with finding justice for four University of Idaho students killed in a grisly quadruple stabbing more than two years ago laid out his key evidence Wednesday at a court hearing for Bryan Kohberger, who agreed to plead guilty earlier this week to avoid the death penalty.

A judge accepted a plea agreement which allows Kohberger to avoid the death penalty for the 2022 murder of four students.

Kohberger admitted to the slayings before entering a formal guilty plea in a deal with prosecutors that will allow him to avoid the death penalty.
