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.

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.)
