I can understand why the state would take the quick life sentence conviction rather than spend the resources needed to secure a death sentence. Due to endless appeals by activist death penalty defense attorneys, the process is insanely expensive and drags out for decades. Why even bother.

Regardless of the law they should have cleared this with victims’ families. "
This is not rational in any way.

They had him dead to rights for the death penalty for the 4 brutal murders of those college students which the families supported, and part of the reasoning for this deal was to protect the families and ease their pain of going thru lengthy trial and appeals or something like that.
So with that reasoning in mind it seems very rational to clear it with families. Don’t use the families as part of reasoning for doing deal if you haven’t cleared it with them as being ok with the deal in the first place.

Guy was obviously guilty. Seems like some people were trying to make a case against it. He was done when they found his dna at the scene, but other than that how acted. You could tell he was on edge during all those police encounters when he was driving across the county. And the act of burning your trash isn’t a guilty act, but a guy with his background who knows he’s probably under surveillance burning his trash is an admission of guilt.

People gotta start taking Incel anger seriously. Go over to the poli-board. They’re angry about everything.

This seems like an overall solid win.
The guy is locked up for life and without the possibility of an appeal.
The State gets to avoid expending considerable resources, a lengthy trial, the possibility of a jury screwing it up (see OJ or a hung jury), or losing on some procedural issue or a technicality. The victims’ families won’t be subjected to any of the aforementioned as well.

It’s interesting that so many murdering, evil soulless losers fight so hard to live themselves when they would be better off letting the state move them on to wherever they will eventually be going anyway.

I wonder why the prosecution made a plea deal. Seemed like they couldnt have gotten a guilty verdict easily.
So the families don't have to go through it all over again.

Yeah, look, I'm not going to disagree with the families - I don't know what was "right" for this situation.
But a lot of times these prosecutors are probably thinking "I've seen this before and the toll it takes on people, you don't know what this deal just spared you" - and to some extent they're probably, often, right.

I think people like him should be tortured until they die just in case hell doesn't exist. That would be the right thing.

Not a bad deal for Kohberger.
He's being sent to a killer's resort, gets cred amongst the worst of the worst, fed 3 times a day, and all the sex he wants.

I'm aware that the DA does not have to consult the families for these decisions. I would think they would have at least met with the families to advise them of the plea deal and why they thought it was best. It sounds like the families may have been blindsided by the announcement. I'd like to know if that happened and more about how they handled the families, if at all. If they did not give them advance notice, I think that's awful.

Just found this article which says the DA sent the families a letter.
NY Post
These people lost children and loved ones in a brutal murder and they DA sent them a letter advising of the plea? That's downright cowardly, in my opinion. The DA doesn't have to meet with the families or even explain their actions, but I would think some better decorum and compassion for the victims' families would be in order here.

State prosecutors reportedly sent a letter to the families of the murdered students informing them of the deal that will let Kohberger dodge the death penalty — provided he admits to breaking into a student rental and butchering four University of Idaho undergrads in 2022.

Have you ever told this story on TD?
Numerous times, yes.
This is the piece of shite. He killed my 5 and 9 year old cousins and my aunt (who was also pregnant at the time). Shot the oldest of the girls in the face with a .357 magnum, shot the 5 year old in the back as she got free and tried to run, then he beat my aunt to death with the gun hitting her over 30 times until it broke.
He spent almost 18 years on DR before finally being killed. And his execution was famous for being cruel and unusual because it was reported that his heart had exploded or some shite like that because there was a huge blood stain on his shirt. But it was simply a nose bleed due to high blood pressure IIRC. I believe he was the last prisoner executed via the chair in Florida.
But you can Google his name and see pics of him post electric chair if you’re curious.

That's so horrific! Did he know them?

His parents lived next door.
That’s how they made the connection…his dad kept his gun (the .357) in the fridge and a day or two later he noticed it was missing. And they connected the dots and arrested ALD. When the story was on the news you could see him standing in the driveway when they were wheeling the bodies out of the house. I guess he was admiring his work.

He admitted his motive was to rape and murder your 9 year old cousin?
