Idaho murders: Bryan Kohberger set to avoid death penalty with guilty plea
- Bryan Kohberger has agreed to plead guilty to the murders of four University of Idaho students as part of a deal to avoid the Death Penalty.
- The victims, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, and Madison Mogen, were stabbed to death in November 2022 at a rental home near campus.
- The family of Kaylee Goncalves expressed extreme anger and disappointment with the State of Idaho, stating they feel failed by the plea agreement.
- A change of plea hearing is set for Wednesday, but the Goncalves family has requested a delay to allow them more time to travel to Boise.
- Prosecutors stated the agreement ensures Kohberger's conviction and life imprisonment, aiming to prevent decades of post-conviction appeals, despite the family's distress.
