Bryan Kohberger Reacts Chilling Statement From Victim's Mother After Life in Prison Sentence

A mother of one of the victims in the Idaho University murders had a chilling message to their killer, Bryan Kohberger, following his life prison sentence. 'A dead killer doesn't kill again. So while I'm disappointed that the firing squad won't take their shots at you, I'm confident the men in prison will have their way with you in more ways than one,' Kristi Goncalves, who was the mother of victim Kaylee Goncalves, said to Kohberger, 30 in court on Wednesday, July 23, per a video shared via X. 'You will finally get what you wanted, physical touch, just probably not how you were expecting it.' Kristi continued: 'See you haven't beat the system, you've simply entered a new one where the rules are cruel and the consequences will never end. You are entering a place where no one will care about who you are and no one will ever respect you. You will be forgotten, discarded, used and erased. You will always be remembered as a loser and an absolute failure.' She added that she hopes that the "silence echoes in your heart for the rest of your meaningless days.' Bryan Kohberger Sentenced to Life in Prison Without Parole After Idaho College Murders 'I hope it reminds you of what we all already know, you are nothing,' she said. 'May you continue to live your life in misery. You are officially the property of the state of Idaho, where your fellow inmates are anxiously awaiting your arrival. But it's OK cause they're there to help you. Hell will be waiting.' Kristi shared that she also had a message for Kohberger from her youngest daughter, Aubrie. 'Aubrey wanted to say, 'You may have received As in high school and college, but you're going to be getting big Ds in prison,'' she quipped. After concluding her speech, Kohberger blinked before returning to his stoic expression. Kohberger was sentenced to four lifetimes in prison on Wednesday for the murders of Kaylee, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. The group of students from Idaho University were stabbed to death by Kohberger in their home in Moscow, Idaho, in November 2022. Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke also lived in the house and were present for the murders. They survived the attack. Kohberger, who was a criminology PhD student at Washington State University at the time of the murders, was arrested in December 2022. The crime garnered interest across the United States and was the subject of a docuseries titled "One Night in Idaho." New Docuseries Tries to Answer Why 4 College Students Were Murdered in Idaho: Biggest Revelations He initially entered a not guilty plea with a trial scheduled for August. In July, Kohberger ultimately took a plea deal that removed the option of the death penalty. (The death penalty could have been possible if the case went to trial.) After accepting the deal, Kohberger signed a confession admitting to four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. 'This unfathomable and senseless act of evil has caused immeasurable pain and loss. No parent should ever have to bury their child,' Ada County District Court Judge Steven Hippler stated on Wednesday. 'This is the greatest tragedy that can be inflicted upon a person.'

Judges deny releasing Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury transcripts from cases in New York and Florida

Federal judges in New York and Florida on Wednesday rejected requests to unseal grand jury transcripts related to investigations into Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. Last week, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche asked judges in Florida and New York to release transcripts from grand jury proceedings that resulted in indictments against Epstein and Maxwell, saying, 'Transparency to the American public is of the utmost importance to this Administration.' However, appeals from both the Trump administration and Maxwell were denied Wednesday by two separate judges. The evidence the Trump administration hoped to unseal, however, likely wouldn't reveal much, according to experts, who say prosecutors try to provide just enough to get charges — not introduce an entire investigation. U.S. Judge Robin L. Rosenberg in West Palm Beach wrote in her ruling that the request to release the documents related to an investigation into Epstein from 2005 to 2007 did not meet any of the extraordinary exceptions under federal law that could make them public. Grand jury proceedings are typically done in secret and kept from public view. Meanwhile, New York federal Judge Paul A. Engelmayer wrote in a filing that Maxwell, who requested access to grand jury transcripts in her case, 'has not shown, or attempted to show, that the grand jury materials in her case are apt to reveal any deficiency in the proceedings leading to her indictment.' Engelmayer wrote there was 'no compelling necessity' for Maxwell to review her grand jury transcripts, which the Trump Administration has also requested to unseal. 'The Court will review these transcripts expeditiously. In the event the Court determines it would benefit from Maxwell's commentary as to discrete aspect of these transcripts, the Court stands ready to make that excerpt, or a synopsis thereof, available to her counsel to facilitate counsel's briefing,' Engelmayer wrote. Engelmayer continued: 'But there is no justification for Maxwell to obtain the extraordinary relief of plenary access to the grand jury transcripts in her case.' Both rejections come about a week after the Justice Department asked the judges to release the records, likely in a move to appease the MAGA base of President Donald Trump, many of whom believe the government has not been transparent with their investigation into Epstein. While Trump ran on the promise that more information would be released about Epstein and his associates, he has since reversed course, with Attorney General Pam Bondi releasing a joint memo with the FBI indicating there would be no more information shared about the financier's conviction. In 2008, Epstein made a deal with federal prosecutors in Florida that would let him avoid more serious federal charges and instead plead guilty to state charges of procuring a person under 18 for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution. Epstein was arrested in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges. He later died by suicide in Manhattan federal court while awaiting trial. Maxwell was later convicted at trial and sentenced to 20 years in prison. After news of the rejection was made public Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters she would 'let the president speak to whether he wants to see an appeal.'

Bryan Kohberger Victim's Sister's Remark About The Killer 'Getting Big Ds In Prison' Sparks Mixed Reactions

The victim impact statement from a family member of one of Bryan Kohberger's victims has sparked mixed reactions online, with some netizens calling it "homophobic." While delivering her remarks in court, Kristi Goncalves hinted at her family's desire for Kohberger to get assaulted with a witty remark from her youngest daughter about the killer "getting big D's in prison." After the shocking remark, Kristi and other members of the Goncalves family continued with strong, emotional statements aimed at the convicted Bryan Kohberger, who was sentenced to four consecutive life terms plus additional time for burglary. Victims' Mother Says Bryan Kohberger Will Receive 'Big Ds In Prison' In Statement Kristi Goncalves, the mother of Bryan Kohberger's victim Kaylee Goncalves, is facing subtle backlash over comments made during her victim impact statement at his sentencing. While her remarks were emotionally charged and directed at the convicted killer, some online users are now questioning the appropriateness of certain lines. Krist also noted that the message was coming from the victims' younger sister, saying, "Quick message from our youngest daughter." She continued, "Aubrie wanted to say, 'You may have received As in high school, but you're gonna be getting big Ds in prison." The Remark Has Been Met With Negative Reactions Online Reacting to the sexually suggestive message, several on X branded it as "homophobic," with one person writing, "We stand with her, but this comment feels homophobic." A second individual said, "It's such a homophonic thing to say... Like gay sex is the worst thing that could ever happen to someone, and also encouraging r-pe is so weird to me…" Another netizen stated, "I feel sorry for her and her family, but that joke was completely inappropriate and is rooted in homophobia and rape culture." One more person wrote, "Wow, imagine using this very serious moment to say a lame joke like you're in 6th grade ." Several Defended Kristi Goncalves' Victim Impact Statement It wasn't all backlash for Kristi over her emotional remarks at Kohberger, as some netizens also defended her. "It's not homophobic," a netizen commented. "They're saying he's going to be raped, which is also something that's frowned on and in poor taste. I think they'll get a pass for today, given the circumstances and the long 3 years it took to have a chance to address him." Another person wrote, "She can have a pass because it's her child. But everyone else … please don't." Beyond the controversial remark, Kristi also used several pointed words at Kohberger, saying he would be "forgotten, discarded, used, and erased." She also told Kohberger that the world will remember him as a "loser" and an "absolute failure." "When those prison doors shut behind you, I hope it reminds you of what we all already know: you're nothing," she added. Other Goncalves Family Members Ripped Into Bryan Kohberger During Impact Statement Following in the footsteps of Kristi, other members of the Goncalves family also slammed Kohberger while giving their impact statement. Kaylee's sister, Alivea Goncalves, called the Idaho killer "insecure," with predictable patterns and shallow motives. "You are not profound, you are pathetic. You aren't special or deep, not mysterious or exceptional. Don't ever get it twisted again," Alivea added. Kaylee's father, Steve Goncalves, branded Kohberger as a "complete joke" who made it easy for him to be apprehended by leaving a trail of evidence. "You were that foolish, that careless, that stupid… We knew from the very beginning we had you," Steve said, per the New York Post. Interestingly, despite the strong remarks made in court, Kohberger chose not to give a statement when given the chance. Instead, he simply said, "I respectfully decline," before the judge proceeded with his sentencing. Unsealed Documents Reveal Bryan Kohberger Stabbed Victim Over 50 Times Following Kohberger's sentencing, documents have emerged revealing gruesome details about the Idaho student killer's fatal stabbing of two of his victims. According to the documents obtained by the New York Post, the 30-year-old stabbed one of his victims, Xana Kernodle, more than 50 times, with two of the wounds piercing her heart. Police also noted that Kernodle had an "intense struggle" with Kohberger, which may explain why she suffered such a high number of stab wounds. Meanwhile, Kaylee Goncalves was brutally stabbed more than 20 times. Though the number was lower, the wounds left her "unrecognizable" when discovered by police. "Her facial structure was extremely damaged," the records stated, adding that some of the stab wounds pierced her lungs, liver, and multiple arteries.
