BREAKING: Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger cuts shocking plea deal to avoid ultimate punishment

8

From Fox News: Idaho student murders suspect Bryan Kohberger has accepted a plea deal to spare his life in the murders of four University of Idaho students, two sources close to the case told Fox News Digital Monday.

Kohberger, 30, is accused of killing Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, in a 4 a.m. home invasion attack on Nov. 13, 2022.

All four had been stabbed multiple times with a large knife. Police recovered a Ka-Bar sheath that they allege had Kohberger’s DNA on it near Mogen’s body.

Kohberger was studying for a Ph.D. in criminology at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. That’s 10 miles up the road from Moscow, Idaho, where all four victims were undergrads at the University of Idaho.

According to a report by News Nation, the deal requried Kohberger to agree to spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole. He also had to waive his right to appeal.

The Goncalves Family released a statement on their Facebook page, voicing their fury that Kohberger got off without having to face the death penalty.

“It’s true! We are beyond furious at the State of Idaho. They have failed us. Please give us some time. This was very unexpected. We appreciate all your love and support,” the brief statement reads.

Podcast host Megyn Kelly wrote, “KOHBERGER case in Idaho ending in a GUILTY plea – in exchange for no death penalty – Kaylee Goncalves family first to react saying they are “beyond furious” with the State who has “failed us.” They didn’t get the families to sign off??”

Journalist Collin Rugg shared an audio of the horrifying 911 call.
