It's been two days since the shocking revelation that Brian Koberger, the man accused of brutally murdering four University of Idaho students has agreed to a plea deal.

Under the reported terms, Brian will plead guilty to four counts of first-degree murder, those of Madison Mogan, Kaylee Gonzalves, Ethan Chapin, and Zana Kornadole, as well as one count of burglary.

In doing so, the state has removed the death penalty from

consideration and will sentence Brian to life in prison without the possibility of parole or

appeal. As we reported on Monday, the decision has sparked outrage, particularly among the victim's

families. Many have likened it to making a deal with the devil himself. The Consolvis family

is reportedly livid, stating they feel deeply betrayed by the state. Similarly, when prosecutors

initially floated the idea of a plea agreement to the Kurnodal family, they allegedly responded

with firm opposition saying, no way. They better not dare go through with it.

Despite these objections, it appears the state is moving forward with the plea deal anyway,

leaving many to ask why now and at what cost.

Well, Wednesday.

July 2nd.

Brian appeared in court for a change of plea hearing.

Many expected that we may get more answers and insight into the state's decision that they are now calling a quote, unquote, sincere attempt to seek justice. But before we dive into what happened during the hearing, we have more newly released statements from other victims family members, along with a

revealing interview from someone who knew Brian in the past. This interview could offer possible

insight into why he may have chosen to accept the plea deal now, just weeks before the trial

was set to begin. We already know that Gonzalez family has been particularly vocal since the decision.

They didn't feel included in the decision making process and feel like they have been

slided by the state since the beginning of this case. Kaylee's sister, Aubrey, recently wrote a

statement on Facebook saying, quote, my name is Aubrey Gonzalez. And I am the youngest member of the Consolvis family.

Though I am unable to be there in person, I refuse to say silent about a situation.
