Brian Kohberger confesses to the murder of Idahu students to avoid the death penalty

A 30-year-old man confessed to the murder of four roommates in a small city of Aidakh College in 2022 as part of the guilt agreement to avoid the death penalty.

Brian Kohberger, a former criminology student, was supposed to hold a trial in August for attacks that shocked America.

During the hearings on Wednesday, Judge Stephen Hipler read details of the agreement, including that Kohberger abandoned his right to appeal or seek indulgence.

Kylie Hankalvez, Ethan Chapin, Xana Yadl and Madison Mogan were killed in their home outside campus in Moscow, in November 2022. Two others in the house, Bethany Funke and Dylan Morten, survived.

“You plead guilty because you are guilty?” Judge Hippler asked the defendant.

“Yes,” Kohberger replied.

Kakhberger had not found himself guilty before.

Before the proceedings, the judge said that his office received numerous messages and voices from the members of the public who sought to “influence the decision”.

He said he did not read or listened to any of the messages and urged people to stop sending them.

The judge then read the allegations against Kohberger – one gap of the theft, which provides for a maximum term of 10 years of imprisonment, and four first -degree murder articles in which each has maximum life in prison.

Kohberger pleaded guilty in all charges.

Judge HipPler said he would officially be sentenced on July 23. He is expected to spend the rest of his life behind bars.

A transaction for the guilt means protracted questions that may have been studied during the trial, such as Kohberger’s motives, remain unanswered.

During the hearings, the prosecutor on the persecution of Bill Thompson said Conberger had an attack, buying a knife on the Internet eight months before the killings.

The blade shell was restored, but the weapon itself was never found.

The prosecutor said there was no evidence of a “sexual component” for killings.

Some in court seemed emotional as the victim names were read. Kohberger remained brazen, including when he confessed to the murder of four victims.

The cruel nature of the killings, the age of the victims and the origin of the suspect in the criminology caused intense public interest in the case.

The guilt’s transaction shared the families of the victims.

Outside the trial, Kylie Hankalve’s father, Steve, said he feels “quite summarized.”

He said the state “made a deal with the devil.”

The family wanted full recognition, including details about the place of weapons and confirmation that the defendant acted alone.

However, the mother and stepfather Madison Mogan said they supported the guilt outside the trial.

In a statement read by their lawyers, they expressed gratitude to all who supported them and “for” successful result “.

“We support the 100%guilt agreement,” the lawyer said. “We turn from the tragedy and mourning … to the light of the future. We have to close.”

Kohberger, who was a student at a neighboring University of Washington, was charged in January 2023.

I do not believe that he personally knew the victims.

The accused was arrested at his house of Pennsylvania’s family after a knife, after the investigators said they had found evidence of DNA on a “leather knife”. In May 2023, he was accused of a large jury.

The court documents revealed that the police had resumed a knife, a Glock gun, a black hat and a black face mask while finding a Kohberger family house.

His defense team questioned the accuracy of the DNA evidence and succeeded in the application to postpone the trial, after saying that their client would not receive a fair hearing from the local jury.

But they were unable to remove the death penalty as a sentence, referring to the diagnosis of autism for Kohberger.

Idaho is one of the 27 US states, which allows the punishment of capital, but there have been no shootings since 2012, according to the database of the death penalty.
