Family and friends of four slain University of Idaho students faced the man who murdered their loved ones, delivering powerful statements of love and grief in a Boise courtroom Wednesday morning before the killer received a sentence of life in prison.
Judge Steven Hippler ordered Bryan Kohberger to serve four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole for four counts of first-degree murder in the November 2022 stabbing deaths of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. The judge also imposed a 10-year sentence for burglary and assessed $270,000 in fines and civil penalties.
