With a series of “yes” replies to a judge, a man accused of killing four Idaho college students pleaded guilty in exchange for life in prison and no death penalty. More details could emerge when Kohberger returns to court for his sentence on July 23.

During a hearing at the Ada County House on Wednesday, Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to killing four University of Idaho students after striking a plea deal with prosecutors. The families of the victims had mixed reactions to the agreement.

The judge asked Bryan Kohberger how he pleads to all charges in the killings of four Idaho students, and he responded “guilty.” The judge accepted the plea and said victims’ families will be allowed to speak at sentencing.
