Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the highly anticipated murder trial accused of killing four Idaho college students, accepted a plea deal, NewsNation first reported.

A victim’s family member told the Idaho Statesman that they received a letter, and provided the letter to the Statesman, confirming the plea deal.

Kohberger was accused of fatally stabbing the University of Idaho students in November 2022 in their off-campus Moscow home. He faced four first-degree murder charges and, if convicted, could have been sentenced to death in a trial that was slated to start with opening statements on Aug. 18.

Don't bother clicking the link; that's the whole article.

ABC News has a better one: https://abcnews.go.com/US/bryan-kohberger-plead-guilty-counts-idaho-college-murders/story?id=123356808

According to ABC, he pled guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and one of burglary, and will receive four consecutive life sentences for the murders and an additional consecutive 10-year sentence for the burglary. The only thing this actually does for him is keeps him from being taken out back and shot, because there's not a court in the land that wouldn't give him death for what he did. (As a reminder, on November 13, 2022, he broke into a house in Moscow, Idaho, home of the University of Idaho, and killed four young women, all of whom were college students, with a hunting knife.)

2. I saw a movie long ago about a kid who was ordered by the court to join the Marines (they used to do that, IIRC)

The drill instructor saw that he was jerking the trigger (being a photographer, I am ever so gentle with my shutter finger)

So, he drove a staple into his trigger finger to make his trigger pull ever so gentle.

Not sure how fictitious this is.

I joined the Coast Guard and gun training at boot camp then was two days, and it rained for rifle range.

3. He killed three young women and one young man

Let's get the facts right.

It is a horror, either way.

4. I am OK with life in prison and no death penalty.

In fact, I advocate for that.
