Boise, Idaho – It is the trial day for Bryan Kohberger, the former aspiring criminologist who killed four students from the Idaho University in an ambush of housing invasion of 4 am in November 2022.
The 30 -year -old was studying for a PH.D. At Washington State University in Pullman when he drove approximately 10 miles to the rental house outside the campus in 1122 King Road, just on the other side of the state line, in Moscow, Idaho.
To a change of guilt audience on July 2, he admitted to having killed four young people inside: Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20. But he did not give a reason or explained anything but admit.
They are expected that their families go to him directly in the Court today with victims' impact statements at a sentence hearing that is expected to take all day.

Mogen and Goncalves, who were best friends, were killed in a room on the third floor. Kohberger's key error, the only physical evidence known publicly that linked him to the crimes, was a Ka-bar knife pod left under Mogen's body. Police found their DNA in the click.
On the second floor, Kernodle was awake, since he received a delivery of Dordash minutes before. Kohberger killed her, then turned her knife on her sleeping boyfriend, Chapin, who spent the night.
A surviving room partner told the Police that he heard cry and the voice of a man say something in the sense of: “It's fine. I'm going to help.” Then he saw a masked man with “dense eyebrows” to leave the back door. For some reason, he did not attacked her.

The families of the victims have been divided by the guilt agreement, which required Kohberger to renounce their right to appeal and lose their right to seek a reduction of sentence under the Idaho Law. Some of the families, but not all, are expected to deliver the impact statements of the victims in a procedure that the court officials predict that they would be executed throughout the day.
It is not clear what Kohberger will say.
Although the guilt agreement specifically did not require Kohberger to explain his actions at the hearing of July 2, Goncalves's father and many others, including President Trump, have said they hope they must give more details in the sentence.

Chapin's parents and Kernodle and Mogen's mothers have expressed their support for the guilt agreement, which will save them years of appeals and the trauma of a trial.
In exchange for his guilt statement, Kohberger avoids the death penalty and is expected to receive the maximum punishment of four consecutive sentences of life imprisonment without the possibility of probation, in addition to another 10 years.
His sentence begins on Wednesday at 9 am from the mountain, at 11 in the East morning.
