Description

The families of four Idaho college students fatally stabbed by Bryan Kohberger will get their chance to face him in court as he’s set to be sentenced for the brutal killings on Wednesday. The former criminology student took a plea deal, agreeing to serve four life sentences for the 2022 murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. He confessed to killing them in court, avoiding a trial where prosecutors intended to seek the death penalty. The guilty plea marked an unexpected halt to a yearslong legal process for the victims’ families, who now have their only opportunity to make impact statements at the sentencing hearing.

Wow, I'm not sure I've ever seen a JUDGE get so emotional. But then again, few cases in modern history have been as horrific and senseless as this one. I hope the families feel some sense of relief that this is basically over now.

Kaylees sister is amazing the way she talked to him. These victims needed to speak to him and tell him what a pathetic human he is!
