Alivea Goncalves delivered a powerful victim impact statement addressing Bryan Kohberger, who murdered her sister Kaylee Goncalves and her friends. Goncalves expressed gratitude for the opportunity to speak and introduced herself as Kaylee's sister. She emphasized that her sister and her friend were not Kohberger's to take or silence. Goncalves called him a sociopath and murderer, refusing to grant him any satisfaction from her grief and declaring her intent to speak the truth about his actions. She posed haunting questions, reflecting on the impact of the tragedy on her life.
I'm not here today to speak in grief; I'm here to speak in truth. Because the truth is, my sister Kaylee and her best friend Maddie were not yours to take.
I won't stand here and give you what you want. I won't offer you two years or trembling. Disappointments like you thrive on pain, fear, and the illusion of power.
