Bryan Kohberger, 30, pled guilty to the murders of four University of Idaho students as part of a plea deal to avoid the death penalty. He was accused of stabbing Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in November 2022. Kohberger will serve four consecutive life sentences and a 10-year sentence for felony burglary. His plea prevents a trial, allowing him to avoid discussing motivations while enhancing his control over the case's narrative, according to legal experts.
"By taking a plea deal, Bryan Kohberger has insulated himself from a sentence that would require his execution. Only a jury can sentence him to death."
"The air of mystery and in some ways that gives him the upper hand, with no trial, he gets to keep certain secrets."
