The murder trial of the century will not take place in Boise, Idaho. Media reporters from around are looking forward to the trial of Bryan Kohberger. Mr. Kohberger is accused of the violent murders of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.

If convicted, Mr. Kohberger would've been given the death penalty by firing squad. Despite his pretrial hearing, the suspect decided to cop a plea to avoid the death penalty. He will be sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.

The state, nation, and the victim's families were spared the agony, expense, and attention of a high profile trial. The murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin captured worldwide attention, spawning another industry of True Crime detectives.

Justice?

Was justice served or denied in the Kohberger plea? It depends on who you ask. The victims' families seem split on the decision by the prosecutor. The families were not consulted before the plea deal was proposed to the defendant. Let's examine the emotional reaction to this tragedy.
