Bryan Kohberger to plead guilty to University of Idaho student murders to avoid death penalty: report
2025-07-01
[NY Post] Now let the rest of the inmates have shivs for the shower
Brian Kohberger has reportedly accepted a plea deal, agreeing to cop to the vicious murders of four University of Idaho undergrads in 2022.

The deal will make Kohberger safe from the death penalty, but he must plead guilty to four murders and waive his right to appeal, and he will serve life in prison without the possibility of parole, NewsNation reported.

The deal is a shocking twist in a hard-fought case in which prosecutors accused Kohberger of sneaking into a rental home in nearby Moscow, Idaho, and fatally stabbing Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves.

#3  ^Unfortunately, the cost to fry him would be much higher, it’s all the appeals.

It’s why I’ve become ambivalent about the death penalty, I have no problem with the state performing this task, but the expense associated makes it cheaper to lock them up

So now US Joe Taxpayer is punished by having to house, feed, care and etc. for this POS for the next 30+ years. The estimated cost will around $120+/- a day x 365 days x 30+ years = $1,314,000

This is not Justice.
