Bryan Kohberger is anticipated to plead guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and one burglary count related to the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. In a plea deal with prosecutors, he will forego the possibility of the death penalty and instead receive consecutive life sentences for each murder charge. The plea will replace his previous 'not guilty' plea entered during his arraignment. The case gained significant attention, leading to a lengthy search for a suspect after the killings on November 13, 2022.
Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in 2022, is expected to plead guilty Wednesday as part of a deal with prosecutors to remove the possibility of the death penalty.
Kohberger is expected to plead guilty to all charges - four counts of first-degree murder and a burglary count - in the stabbing deaths of housemates Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen and Xana Kernodle and Kernodle's boyfriend, Ethan Chapin.
In exchange for a guilty plea, prosecutors will remove the death penalty from Kohberger's sentencing options. Instead, he will face consecutive life sentences for each murder charge.
The killings on Nov. 13, 2022, rocked the college town of Moscow, Idaho, and sparked a more than six-week-long search for a suspect.
