YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIdaho student murders suspect Bryan Kohberger has accepted a plea deal to spare his life in exchange for a guilty plea in the murders of four University of Idaho students, two sources close to the case told Fox News Digital.
Kohberger is accused of killing 21-year-old Madison Mogen, 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves, 20-year-old Xana Kernodle, and 20-year-old Ethan Chapin in a home invasion attack on Nov. 13, 2022.
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.
The plea deal came apparently as a surprise. The Goncalves' family, in a Facebook page her parents created after the murders, condemned the deal, which spares Kohberger's life.
"We are beyond furious at the State of Idaho," a new post reads. "They have failed us. Please give us some time. This was very unexpected."
Prosecutors had not telegraphed the move and fought hard to keep the death penalty on the table in pretrial proceedings.
