9:23Now PlayingLiveNOW's Andy Mac interviews Legal Analyst, Jacqueline Goodman to hear her thoughts about the judge sentencing Bryan Kohberger to life in prison after murdering 4 University of Idaho students.
BOISE, Idaho - The man who stabbed four students to death in a home near the University of Idaho has appeared in court for a sentencing hearing. Bryan Kohberger and the families of his victims had a chance Wednesday to speak in court but Kohberger remained silent.
Kohberger was sentenced to life in prison as part of a plea deal for murdering Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves and Ethan Chapin in late 2022.
Judge Hippler sentenced Kohberger to 10 years for burglary and four consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole, along with $270,000 in fines and civil penalties.
Judge Steven Hippler ordered Kohberger to serve four life sentences without parole for the brutal stabbing deaths of Mogen, Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin early on Nov. 13, 2022. The defendant pleaded guilty early this month, just weeks before his trial was to start, in a deal to avoid the death penalty.
Kohberger "senselessly slaughtered" the four victims, Hippler said.
Hippler credited law enforcement and "the killer’s incompetence" for the court’s ability to prosecute him.
"The world and this court unmasked this unfathomable and senseless act of evil has caused immeasurable pain and loss," Hippler said.
"I respectfully decline," he said.
One person said, "surprise, surprise," in the courtroom. Another said, "coward."
