Case background

More background & key dates

Kohberger pleaded guilty on July 2, 2025, under an agreement removing the death penalty. On July 23, he received four consecutive life sentences without parole and a consecutive ten-year burglary sentence. These recordings document those proceedings, not a contested trial or a jury verdict. Later post-conviction litigation is outside this collection.
