Bryan Kohberger, the former criminal justice doctoral student charged in the murders of four University of Idaho students in 2022, is expected to officially plead guilty Wednesday in a deal with prosecutors that spares him from the death penalty.
The hearing is expected to begin at 11 a.m. local time (1 p.m. ET). People hoping to be inside the courtroom have been lined up since 2:45 a.m.
Kohberger is charged with four counts of murder in the stabbings of Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves, who were killed at a home in Moscow, Idaho, during the early morning hours of Nov. 13, 2022. Kohberger was arrested at his parents' home in Pennsylvania six weeks later. DNA evidence linked him to a knife sheath found at the crime scene, according to a police affidavit.
