Bryan Kohberger and his victim’s families will have a chance to speak at his sentencing

MOSCOW, IDAHO, JUL 23 – Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to killing four University of Idaho students and received four consecutive life sentences without parole, avoiding the death penalty through a plea deal.

  • On Wednesday, July 23, 2025, in Boise, Idaho, Bryan Kohberger was sentenced for the fatal stabbing of four students from the University of Idaho that occurred in November 2022.
  • Kohberger pleaded guilty earlier this month under a plea deal that avoids the death penalty and waives his right to appeal.
  • Judge Steven Hippler lifted a gag order on July 17, citing First Amendment rights despite concerns the media could jeopardize sentencing integrity.
  • Families and surviving roommates had the opportunity to speak at the sentencing hearing while Kohberger, who retained the right to remain silent, may not speak.
  • The court imposed a sentence of four back-to-back life terms without the possibility of parole on Kohberger, though the reasons behind his actions remain unclear despite ongoing investigations.
