Kaylee Goncalves’ Sister Condemns Killer Bryan Kohberger in Sentencing

During the sentencing hearing for Bryan Kohberger, who pleaded guilty to the fatal stabbings of four students including Kaylee Goncalves, her sister Alivea Goncalves delivered a powerful and scathing victim impact statement. She condemned Kohberger as a "psychopath," a "wannabe," and a "delusional, pathetic, hypochondriac loser," emphasizing that her sister and friends were not his to harm or silence. Despite Kohberger's emotionless demeanor and occasional smirks, Alivea's words elicited strong reactions from the courtroom, which applauded her remarks. Kohberger accepted a plea deal to avoid the death penalty, resulting in life imprisonment without parole plus an additional 10-year sentence for burglary. Prosecutors presented evidence including Kohberger's DNA found on a knife sheath near two victims, and his suspicious behavior around the crime scene, while the murder weapon remains missing. The judge rejected alternative suspects proposed by the defense, solidifying Kohberger's culpability in the murders.
