A 30 -year -old man, due to testing for a deadly stab of four roommates in a small Idaho college city, according to the US media, will blame as part of a deal with state prosecutors for avoiding the death penalty.
The office of Latah County Prosecutor refused to confirm the BBC that a argument was made with Brian Kohberger.
But relatives of Kali Gonclaves, a victim, clearly confirmed the agreement on Facebook. “This is true! We are beyond the fierce state in the Idaho kingdom,” the post said. “They have failed us.”
Ms. Gonclaves, Ethan Chapin, Xna Karnodal and Madison Mogan were stabbed in their off-kampus house in Moscow, Idaho before Thanksgiving in 2022.
Mr. Kohberger, who was a graduate criminal science student at the nearby Washington State University, is currently due to the stand trial in August.
In addition, on Monday, a judge in the defendant’s home state of Pennsylvania ruled that the three people who knew that they should visit Idaho to testify to rescue.
Local media said that a hearing for the petition deal for Wednesday was set. The BBC has contacted the legal team of the defendant for comments.
Local media said that Mr. Kohberger is expected to be guilty of all four murder charges and forgive his rights for any future appeal.
If accepted by a judge, the deal will allegedly sentence the defendant to life without parole and prosecutors that the capital would not seek punishment.
Moscow prosecution lawyer Bill Thompson told the families in a letter, “We cannot tell the matter to the toll that takes the matter to your family.” According to Idaho Statesman newspaperWho said that he saw a copy.
“This resolution is our honest effort to seek justice for your family.
“This agreement ensures that the defendant will be convicted, he will spend the rest of his life in jail, and will not be able to put you and other families through decades of decades of appeal after decades.”
The defendant was arrested after stabbing his Pennsylvania family’s house in weeks, when investigators said they found DNA evidence on the “leather knife sheath” at the crime site. He was inspired by a grand jury in May 2023.
The court documents revealed that the police recovered a knife, a lock pistol, black glove, a black cap and a black face mask during the search for the house of Mr. Kohberger’s family.
His defense team questioned the accuracy of DNA evidence and was successful in his dialect to move the test location, after arguing that his customer would not get a fair hearing from local gamblers.
But he failed to remove the death sentence as an alternative to a punishment, citing an autism diagnosis for Mr. Kohberger.
Idaho is one of the 27 American states that have not been executed since 2012, according to a database of the death penalty information center.
