TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — Prosecutors will not seek the death penalty against two Buhl men accused of killing a high school student last year.
Twin Falls County Prosecutor Grant Loebs tells The Times-News (http://bit.ly/2qo1dmi) in a story on Friday he didn't think prosecutors could get the death penalty after looking at all the factors.
Nineteen-year-old Gerardo Raul Chavez and 20-year-old Jose Daniel Alvarez pleaded not guilty in February to felony counts of murder and intimidating a witness.
The pair is accused of the May 7 drive-by shooting of 15-year-old Vason Lee Widaman.
Bond was set at $5 million for Chavez. Alvarez has not sought bond.
