On July 2, 2025, Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to 4 counts of Murder and one count of Burglary. During the plea hearing, Kohberger confirmed he was pleading guilty because he is guilty and waived his appellate rights, including the right to ask for a reduced or lenient sentence. He agreed to the maximum potential sentence, which is life with no parole for the murder counts, served consecutively, and 10 years for the burglary, plus court fees, fines, and restitution.
Madison Mogen's family, through their attorney, expressed gratitude to law enforcement, the prosecution team, and the judges, and stated their support for the plea agreement, emphasizing their desire for closure and healing.
The Sentencing is scheduled for July 23, 2025, at 9:00am MT with the possibility of extending to the 24th. I'll plan to cover that hearing. Make sure you have the Law Nerd App to join me when I go live.
