() The family of Ethan Chapin will be appearing in court on Wednesday to support the plea deal offered to Bryan Kohberger, has learned.

Kohberger, 30, a former graduate student in criminal justice at Washington State University, faces murder charges for the deaths of Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves and Chapin, who were killed at an off-campus house near the University of Idaho on Nov. 13, 2022. He had originally pleaded not guilty.

Kohberger has accepted the prosecution’s proposed plea deal, which would drop the death penalty in exchange for a guilty plea to the murders and a burglary charge.

Kohberger must also agree to spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole and must waive his right to appeal, under the deal.

The case is now in a judge’s hands, who will decide whether to accept or deny the deal. A change of plea hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.

The family of Kaylee Gonclaves acknowledged that it is furious with the plea deal for Kohberger.

“This is the opposite of our will,” Steve Goncalves said on ’s “Banfield”. “There was no majority (of victims’ families) believing that this was acceptable.”
