Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of fatally stabbing four college students in Idaho, appears ready to accept a deal to plead guilty in connection with the killings, one victim’s family and their attorney said Monday.
Kaylee Goncalves’ family said they learned about the apparent deal in a letter from prosecutors, according to a statement. The family said on Facebook in an updated statement that they gave a "HARD NO" after prosecutors broached the possibility of a plea deal Friday, before prosecutors emailed them about the deal Sunday.
According to the Idaho Statesman, the letter said the plea deal will ensure Kohberger's conviction and secure life in prison for him.
“This agreement ensures that the defendant will be convicted, will spend the rest of his life in prison, and will not be able to put you and the other families through the uncertainty of decades of post-conviction appeals,” read the letter, signed by Latah County Prosecuting Attorney Bill Thompson, according to the Statesman.
The Goncalves family had said that the Latah County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office “vaguely mentioned” a possible plea deal Friday, before it presented it to the family Sunday through a letter sent via email “without seeking our input.”
