Can an Autism Defense Keep Bryan Kohberger Off Death Row? A Legal Breakdown

Could claiming autism spectrum disorder really be a life-or-death strategy? Bryan Kohberger’s defense team is throwing a curveball, suggesting that ASD should factor into whether he faces the death penalty. But here’s the problem—autism isn’t a get-out-of-execution-free card. In fact, this argument could backfire spectacularly. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins to break down the legal implications. Will the jury see this as a legitimate mitigation factor, or will it only reinforce their suspicions? And if the defense is leaning into this strategy, does that mean they’re running out of other options? More importantly, if he didn’t do it… why would this even matter?
