A father of one of the University of Idaho students who was murdered said he wants to see the death penalty for suspect Bryan Kohberger.
Steve Goncalves, who lost his daughter Kaylee in the Nov. 13 quadruple homicide, said he wants Kohberger to realize that “he’s not going to be on the planet that long.”“I want this guy to be sick of seeing me. Sick of hearing the cases. And I want this case to get stronger and stronger, to the point where he just realizes that he's not going to be on the planet that long,” Goncalves said on Fox News.
"I can make this man feel like he picked the very worst family to do that to. And every time he turns on the TV, he sees us," Goncalves said."And every time he thinks something positive is happening in his case, he sees one of us communicating, and he realizes he has zero hope." While the Goncalves family has been mulling a push for the death penalty, it isn’t their choice alone, according to Shannon Gray, the family’s attorney.
The four victims — identified as Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21 — were killed in their beds due to stab wounds in the chest and upper body with a large knife. Two other roommates who were in the home at the time of the attack were left unharmed.
