    Bryan Kohberger, the man charged in the 2022 killings of four University of Idaho students, has agreed to plead guilty to all charges. The plea deal means he will avoid the death penalty and instead serve a lifetime behind bars.

    Prosecutors sent a letter to the victims’ families outlining the plea agreement. Kohberger will admit guilt to four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. The sentencing includes four life sentences, to be served consecutively, along with a maximum 10-year term for burglary.

    Sentencing is expected to take place by the end of July, assuming Kohberger pleads guilty as scheduled during the hearing on Wednesday. This development marks the end of a long and emotional legal process that followed the shocking deaths of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.

    The agreement includes Kohberger’s complete waiver of his right to appeal. Prosecutors also plan to seek restitution on behalf of the victims’ families. According to the letter, the plea deal was initiated by Kohberger’s defense team last week. Prosecutors say they then consulted with available family members, considered all factors, and made the offer.

    They wrote to families that the plea ensures a conviction, a life sentence, and a way to avoid the emotional toll of a lengthy trial and appeals process. They emphasized that the families’ opinions were central to reaching the decision.

    However, not every family agrees with the resolution. The Goncalves family issued a statement criticizing how the plea was handled. They claimed the Latah County Prosecutor’s Office rushed the process and failed to involve them meaningfully.

    According to their statement, the possibility of a plea deal was mentioned briefly on a Friday, then confirmed by Sunday, without full discussion. They said the only notice they received was an email with a letter attached.

    The family called the process secretive and said they were given just one day to prepare and attend the July 2 court appearance. Their statement expressed deep frustration, describing the conclusion as rushed and lacking proper communication with those most affected.

    They added that after more than two years, this was not the justice they expected. Still, they vowed to stay united and support one another as they move forward with the reality of the situation.

    The killings occurred on November 13, 2022, at an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho. All four students were stabbed in the early morning hours. Two other roommates survived. One reported seeing a man with bushy eyebrows walking past her in the house.

    The crime shocked the small college town and drew national attention. Authorities launched a nearly seven-week manhunt before arresting Kohberger, who was a criminology Ph.D. student at Washington State University at the time. He was taken into custody at his parents’ home in Pennsylvania in December 2022.

    Prosecutors say DNA found on a knife sheath at the crime scene matched Kohberger. His defense team has claimed he was driving alone during the time of the killings, but no solid alibi was provided.

    The University of Idaho released a statement saying their hearts are with the victims’ families. The statement said no outcome could ever make up for the loss and promised that the victims would never be forgotten.

    While the plea deal brings legal closure, the emotional wounds for the families remain. The sentence ensures Kohberger will never leave prison, but the pain left behind by the crime continues.
