Idaho student murders suspect Bryan Kohberger has accepted a plea deal to spare his life in the murders of four University of Idaho students, two sources close to the case told Fox News Digital Monday.
Kohberger, 30, is accused of killing Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, in a 4 a.m. home invasion attack on Nov. 13, 2022.
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."

Personally I think thrill killing 4 college kids in the bloom of their life deserves a more special punishment before the gas or chair:
I wonder when he will have his free “transition” surgery?
Has Vegas opened odds on how long he lasts in ‘da pokey?
My lawyer brother told me long ago that many state lawyers are incompetent. They fear going to trial.

“Has Vegas opened odds on how long he lasts in ‘da pokey?”
Soon, probably. I’d say about six months.
Horrible that they took death off the table, no-one in history has more deserved to die a painful death by firing squad preceded by a couple of years of looking forward to it.
He won’t be popular, but he will be fine. They will just put him in AD SEG, to protect him.
Hopefully will bunk with Bubba who knows.
I’ll give him a 12 gauge surgery tomorrow, if he wants.
I hope the plea deal includes he has to tell his motive.
Don’t hold your breath.
I’m with you on this one.
Hopefully never.
Is the plea deal to accept some sort of diminished responsibility sentence due to mental illness?
You’d have to be fairly crazy to even consider killing four people you never met in the middle of the night for no reason.
From what I read elsewhere, a Door Dash driver happened to make a delivery to the house at roughly the time of the killing (just before I would guess) and can i.d. Kohberger who was in the parking area of the house (at 0400h).
I would hazard the guess that he was obsessed with one or more of the young women he apparently killed, was stalking her, and entered a zombie state that led to a violent end to his fantasies.
There were two other girls in that house who survived, one said she saw a person resembling Kohberger in a hallway (possibly after the killings, apparently). The other one was asleep and knew nothing about the events until the two girls conferred in the morning. The one who was awake apparently thought the people had passed out from partying and that the intruder was just on his way out (which he was, but she thought it was a case of party dude heading home).
You can see how she would not figure out what happened right away, it was so horrific that you wouldn’t necessarily imagine it, and apparently the people partied regularly (as college kids do).
I feel for the parents, but the upside is, there is now no doubt what happened, and they won’t have to sit through an emotionally wrenching trial staring at the back of this dude who killed their kids. A long trial is a gruelling experience (I know and the subject matter was much less emotionally jarring).
If by any chance they or their relations and friends happen to read this thread, my advice would be, concentrate on the goodness of the kids you lost and the fact that you will all be reunited in the world to come. And Kohberger will be somewhere else then. He will have to live out his life knowing what he did and what the consequences are (to some extent, I can believe he is not in his right mind but still, even insane people know to some extent what is real and what is not real). It may in fact be a greater punishment to live forty or fifty years in that situation, than to die in a hail of bullets (which is how Idaho does things from what I heard, some other notorious killer was trying to postpone that sentence on humanitarian grounds, rather ironic considering what he had done himself).
What a nightmare 24 hours for Idaho, north Idaho in particular.
Meanwhile I wonder where that guy is, who killed his three kids in a campground a few weeks ago, and then disappeared.
They say bad things come in threes.
I won’t. Maybe he will spill his guts to Dateline or 20/20
(that was in Washington state by the way, that guy could be anywhere by now)
I’m still trying to understand the people who found the dead bodies (stabbed to death) who thought they were sleeping or passed out and tried to wake them up.
Maybe he will receive some jailhouse justice.
(One of the gangbangers who killed a good 15yo boy in the Bronx was found dead in prison the other day.)

Too bad the the victims didn’t get the same choice.
The DA is a coward.
