Correction: In most capital cases, the jury decides whether or not a convict gets the death penalty, not the judge. Only a few states ever allow judges to override a jury and order the death penalty.

Bryan Kohberger is accused of murdering University of Idaho students Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves. He just pleaded guilty to their murders, as part of a plea deal. We watched the hearing and will talk about it now.
