KOHBERGER GETS LIFE IN PRISON FOR IDAHO KILLINGS
LATAH COUNTY, IDAHO, JUL 25 – Bryan Kohberger received four consecutive life sentences without parole for the murders of four students, with victims' families delivering emotional impact statements at the hearing.
- On July 23, 2025, Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to four life terms without parole and burglary penalties at the Latah County Courthouse, where Maryann and Amanda Kohberger attended.
- Following the July 2, 2025 hearing, Bryan Kohberger changed his plea to guilty, admitting deliberate and premeditated murder to avoid the death penalty.
- In court, Maryann Kohberger shuddered and held her head in her hands, as Bryan Kohberger largely ignored his sobbing mother and sister and his other sister, Melissa, stayed away.
- Alivea Goncalves called him a `pathetic sociopath` and vowed `We will never stop fighting for her`, Judge Steven Hippler termed him a `faceless coward`, while she stared him down.
- Survivor Dylan Mortensen said she will live with the pain while Kohberger remains `empty, forgotten and powerless`, and he has been sent to the Idaho Department of Correction’s reception unit pending maximum-security placement, but families say justice brings no closure.
