One of the surviving roommates of the four University of Idaho students murdered by Bryan Kohberger in 2022 spoke at his sentencing hearing Wednesday.
It was the first time Dylan Mortensen had spoken publicly since the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13, 2022. Kohberger pleaded guilty to the murders earlier this month as part of a plea deal the spared him from the death penalty. He is expected to be sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
"What happened that night changed everything," Mortensen began, reading her victim impact statement through tears after taking a few moments to gather herself. "Because of him, four beautiful, genuine, compassionate people were taken from this world for no reason."
