District Court Judge Steven Hippler sentenced Bryan Kohberger, 30, to four consecutive life sentences for the 2022 fatal stabbings of four University of Idaho students. The victims’ families and others involved in the case provided emotional impact statements at court, including the two surviving roommates of the victims. Kohberger must also pay a fine of $50,000 and a civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of each victim per count. The four victims were stabbed to death at the girls’ off-campus house on Nov. 13, 2022. Kohberger told the judge he “respectfully” declined to speak at the sentencing hearing.
