Four Consecutive Life Terms w/ No Chance of Parole for Kohberger

I watched the family and friends statements. I cried and then cried some more. My husband came in and shut the TV off. It brought back memories of losing family, victims of horrible crimes and my testifying in court.

The statement, one family member made, about how the wounds will never fully heal, I can identify with. Wounds from such crimes, scab up in time. Then years pass and those scabs may fall off, but the scars are forever.
 

I had really hoped he would muster a shred of compassion and provide some sort of explanation/motive, to give these poor families some sort of closure. I can't say I'm surprised that he didn't, though.

Those victim impact statements were brutal to watch. Even the judge was wiping away tears.

We can only hope.

I have experienced losing family members. My parents were killed when I was 9 years old. At that age, it’s really not as emotional as it is for someone more mature and with the understanding of what having a family member murdered means and all that goes along with the unexpected, untimely and unnecessary death.

I don’t know how the parents felt or if they were included in the decision to give 4 life sentences. As we all know, giving the killer the death penalty doesn’t bring back the loved one. It does serve as justice. I think the decision for the punishment should be left up to the parents. No matter what they choose, there will be no closure, but it’s about getting justice for the deceased.

I can only wish that the parents find peace.
 
You dan't expect compassion from a sociopath. If he said something like he did it because he wanted to experience
killing someone, l doubt that he would have made it to rhe cell waiting for him.
 
I'm sure if they had the proper elements, he would have been charged with 8 counts of 1st degree murder, if Idaho has that as part of its Jurisprudence?
