PREVIEW

Bryan Kohberger Agrees to Plead Guilty to Idaho College Murders, Sparing Death Penalty. Bryan Kohberger has agreed to plead guilty to all charges in the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students, avoiding the death penalty. Kohberger was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary in the deaths of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Under the plea deal, Kohberger will serve four consecutive life sentences and the maximum 10-year sentence for burglary. Sentencing is anticipated in late July, provided Kohberger enters the guilty plea at the upcoming hearing scheduled for Wednesday. The plea agreement includes Kohberger waiving his right to appeal and the state seeking restitution for the victims' families. The plea deal comes just weeks before Kohberger’s trial was set to begin, with jury selection scheduled for August 4. Kohberger’s defense team initiated discussions with prosecutors about a plea offer last week, leading to the current agreement. The Goncalves family has expressed frustration over the speed of the plea deal, claiming the Prosecutor’s Office mishandled the process and excluded victim input.
