Summary

Bryan Kohberger in court this week, admits he killed four University of Idaho students,  Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.  Kohberger agreed to a plea deal when the death penalty was taken off the sentencing table. Family members of the victims were divided about the plea, some saying justice for their loved one was denied.  During a court hearing we learned that Bryan Kohberger did not plan to murder four people. He had a target. We don't know who that target was, but reports say Kohberger allocuted on paper what happened that night and after his sentencing that information could be make public.  

Sentencing for Kohberger is later this month.
