Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of fatally stabbing four university students in Idaho, seems to be ready to accept an agreement to declare himself guilty in relation to the murders, said the family of a victim and his lawyer on Monday.
The family learned of the apparent agreement in a letter from the prosecutors, the statesman of Idaho and ABC News reported, citing the letter.
“This agreement ensures that the accused is convicted, will spend the rest of his life in prison and will not be able to put it to you the other families through the uncertainty of decades of appeals after the conviction,” read the letter, signed by Moscow’s lawyer, Bill Thompson, according to the statesman.
Kohberger, 30, was accused of four first -degree murder positions and theft in the murder of Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves in a house outside the campus in Moscow, Idaho.
“It seems that there is a plea agreement that has been offered and accepted,” said Shanon Gray, a Goncalves family lawyer.
Additional details were not available immediately.
“We are more than furious for the Idaho state,” the Goncalves family said in a Facebook post on the apparent agreement. “They have failed us. Please give us some time. This was very unexpected.”
Kohberger’s trial was scheduled to start on August 11 in Boise.
Kohberger’s lawyers, a doctoral student in Criminology at Washington State University in Pullman, said he was driving only when the students were killed.
They attended the University of Idaho, just on the other side of the state line from Pullman.
The bodies of Chapin, 20; Kernodle, 20; Mogen, 21; and Goncalves, 21; They were found on November 13, 2022. The authorities linked Kohberger with the murder through the data of the cell phones, the video of the security camera and the DNA of a knife sheath discovered in the crime scene.
Kohberger was arrested on December 30 at the House of Pennsylvania of his parents.
