Bryan Kohberger received four consecutive life sentences without parole for the brutal murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. He also received an additional 10 years for burglary. Kohberger declined to explain his motive, leading to emotional statements from the victims' families who expressed their grief and rage. The judge condemned Kohberger's "unspeakable evil," noting the families' desire for answers, but also stating that "By continuing to focus on why, we continue to give Mr Kohberger relevance, we give him agency. We give him power." The hearing included powerful statements from the victims' parents, siblings, and surviving roommates, expressing their pain and anger. Kohberger remained emotionless throughout the proceedings. His guilty plea, reached just weeks before his trial, removed the possibility of the death penalty.
