Cannot put into words how strong the victims' families and friends are for being able to address this monster loser directly. I hope this gives them a modicum of closure.

 

[Muddy K]

Kaylee's mother: "But it's okay, because they're there to help you." Exactly.

 

[tlcya]

this is epic, I am so glad I get t be able to watch this with you all. It's been a long road to get here, but THIS right here is the sort of closure I was needing to see.

If Ramsland writes a book about BK like she did with Dennis Rader (in his own words, for the most part), she should include Alivea's victim impact statement as the conclusion - the weighing in from decent society - that takes the air out from under the quadruple-murderer's self-important explanations about what he was thinking, doing, etc.

With matriarch Kristi Goncalves piling on more, the Goncalves family continues to eviscerate #BryanKohberger. His attorneys continue to hold firm, receiving this tongue lashing with their client. More light applause in the courtroom as Kristi wraps her statement with a ! #Idaho4

the darkness in you could not stand the light in them.

Alivia—I wish you could hear the hands clapping across the USA right now. Heck—-the world!!!

BRAVO!!

 

[Gemmie]

Recess! *whew* I need a break after the Goncalves family reamed him.

 

[NoeticSoul]

The first grandmother's last words to him "Thumbs up"...

Alivea Goncalves left a bigger mark on BK than any DP could.

 

[Megnut]

You did not take her light, you spread it out to the world.

You could not overcome the darkness.

KG's grandmother

Alivea is reading him to filth. She's saying what the whole world has wanted to say to him for years now.

Reporter Anthony Kuipers is in the courtroom, but I didn't make it inside. Hearing has just started.

I'll be watching along with you in the overflow room.


Kohberger is wearing orange jail garb. Bethany Funke's statement being read right now. "That was the worst day of my life, and I know it always will be." She received death threats and was hounded by the media. She feels sick with survivor's guilt.


Lives in fear, barely left her house for months. She has not slept through a single night since this happened. For a long time, I could barely get out of bed. Now she plans to live for her friends, according to Bethany's statement.

Dylan, the roommate who came face to face with Kohberger, is now about to speak. What happened that night changed everything, she said. Because of him, four beautiful people were taken for no reason.

What he did shattered me. I was barely 19 when he did this, Dylan said. I had to sleep in my mom's bed, I am terrified, have panic attacks, can't breathe, can't think, can't stop shaking. Emotional pain is too much to handle, she said. Kohberger appears to be paying attention.

He is a hollow vessel, he chose evil. He feels nothing. He tried to take everything from me. Living is how I honor my friends. He will never take my voice, Dylan said, or erase my memories of my friends.

Maddie's stepfather and mother's statement describes how much they loved their daughter. Many tears are being shed in the courtroom, and in the overflow room. "This world was a better place with her in it," Scott Laramie said.

Maddie was taken in an act of evil, Scott said. Our grief is compounded with the loss of her other three friends. This vast emotional wound will never fully heal, it's an endless void, he said.

We will grow old without our only child, her stepfather said. For Maddie, we will continue to love our family and friends. We support the plea agreement, Scott said. Evil does not deserve our time. We're done being victims, and we're taking back our lives.

Attorney is now reading a statement from Karen, Maddie's mother. Can't forgive him at this time, his acts were too heinous. For Maddie's sake, we will move on.

Maddie's grandma is describing the traumatic grief her family has experienced. The struggle with media attention was extremely difficult, especially for Ben. On May 25, we encourage folks to do random acts of kindness in Maddie's honor.

Ben Mogen, Maddie's father, said his only daughter was the only great thing he ever did. He's soft-spoken and reading a Father's Day from his girl. Ben said he had addiction issues and depression, and Maddie kept him alive. I just miss her so much, and love her so much, he said.

Steve Goncalves is facing Kohberger. Today we are here to finish what you started. You picked the wrong family, wrong state, wrong police, wrong community. You failed. Your actions united everyone in their disgust for you.

You left your DNA like a calling card. You're stupid. Master's degree? You're a complete joke. Steve is not holding back, and his statements are getting approval from the overflow room.

From this moment, we will forget you, Kaylee's dad said. He also thanked law enforcement for their efforts. Oldest daughter, Alivea Goncalves is now facing Kohberger.

She is speaking strongly, with confidence, and without fear. Alivea is articulate and painting a vivid picture of her anger toward Kohberger. I won't stand here and give you what you want. I won't give you tears and trembling. "Sociopath, psychopath, murderer, sit up straight…"

"If you were really smart, do you think you'd be here right now? Do you feel anything at all? Who are you? You didn't win, you exposed yourself as a coward." She is going right at him.

"Kaylee would've kicked your f**king ," she said. Court room applause can be heard. (This impact statement will go viral, I predict.)

Kristi Goncalves, Kaylee's mother, is lobbing some insults, that are causing gasps. She is talking about how he's nothing and a loser. Your fellow inmates are anxiously awaiting your arrival. "But don't worry, we're here to help you," she said, quoting Kohberger.

Kaylee's family and friends are not holding back. One grandma said she wishes he'd die the same way he killed the four kids. I want you to be cast out, said another grandma. "You are evil, and in the end evil is eradicated.”

Turns out he had to face the firing squad after all!

 

[Slamalam]

Kaylee's mother: "But it's okay, because they're there to help you." Exactly.

I think he looked even more frozen when she said that. That seemed to catch him off guard.

 

[LMDlong]

I think Kohberger looks emotional. Especially when KG's sister was speaking, his adam's apple throbbed, he kept swallowing and I think he wanted to be invisible. Lots of blinking in the segment where she calls him a sociopath, psychopath, murderer. He nods a little when she asks him the questions she'd like the answers to. Shocked me, because it looked like a tacit admission on his part that he did know KG in some way.

She is such a good speaker and somehow really knows how to get to him.

I agree

 

[pittsburghgirl]

IMO she just got hired at WHEREVER SHE WANTS TO WORK. Straight to the top of any industry.

What a powerhouse.

She should be a prosecutor.

Alivia—I wish you could hear the hands clapping across the USA right now. Heck—-the world!!!

BRAVO!!

I'm here in England and I was kicking my feets whilst whatsapping my mate who was also cheering!!
