A man charged with murdering four University of Idaho students is set to plead guilty to avoid the death penalty. Bryan Kohberger's plea deal has angered the victims' families, who were against such a resolution. Shanon Gray, representing Kaylee Goncalves' family, expressed their disbelief over the lack of consultation regarding the plea. Despite efforts to push for capital punishment, the families felt their voices were not heard. They expressed feelings of betrayal by the prosecution and described receiving unexpected news about the plea deal, leading to frustration and anger.
We are beyond furious at the State of Idaho, Goncalves' family wrote in a Facebook post. They have failed us. Please give us some time.
Unfortunately all of our efforts did not matter. We DID OUR BEST! We fought harder than anyone could EVER imagine, the family wrote.
After more than two years, this is how it concludes with a secretive deal and a hurried effort to close the case without any input from the victims' families on the plea's details.
Bryan Kohberger has agreed to the deal with prosecutors, Shanon Gray, a lawyer representing the family of one of the victims, Kaylee Goncalves, said on Monday.
