There is always a chance that an accused person will be found not guilty or that there will be a hung jury. What you post here are the aggravating factors pointing to the death penalty, which have nothing to do with whether to see consecutive life without parole with no appeals. All of these factors would have to be proved in court AFTER the guilt phase of the trial.
In general, getting a mass killer off the street for life should be the goal. BK confessed. He can't petition for a new trial based on his innocence, as Scott Peterson is doing. Finding a man guilty in a trial and sentencing him to death just means the appeals will start and he'll continue to claim he's innocent. That means the survivors and families deal with the killer for decades.
The prosecution did the absolutely right thing for the people of Idaho (whom they represent), the survivors, and (whether they agree or not), the families. Let this monster in a human suit rot in prison for as many years as he manages to stay alive.

In a human suit.
That really says it all.
An imposter but not really even that. TedBundy was one. BTK another. Successful enough at peopling to hide in plain sight. In another realm, he would be the passive researcher. The JaneGoodall, keenly studying the animal population, except they're humans. And he's tasked with recording their movements, distinct from his.
Honestly it's like he thinks there is him, and then the world (the 8 billion people who BTW have DNA different than his) revolves around him and only as he directs them to.
Psychopaths. Human specimens.
There is of course a place for studying human beings. Human beings and how they act, react, interact (oh, I don't know, like in a PhD program), but they isn't how or who HE did it.
He wanted to uncover his own rationale IMO, for how and why HE did the things he did. How HE selected his victim(s), how he pre-mapped his crime (I'll be he felt it was easy, too easy, so easy it made him feel justified and haughty both), and how it would unfold
in the field, as it were.
So clever, he must have thought himself, to bury his murder weapon purchase with a gift card, to scrub his histories, to employ transfer abatement, to relocate his kill kit (assuming he did), delicious counter measures. How proud of himself he must have been. Thumbs up all day.
Angers me that he had opportunities and resources few people get and rather than doing the hard work to excel in his field, he blew up destroying four innocent victims for his own personal enjoyment.
Human suit.
Devoid of any real humanity.
