Prosecutors Kohberger should pay more restitution

Pullman, WALocal News

Latah County prosecutors are pushing for higher restitution from Bryan Kohberger, convicted of murdering four individuals in November 2022. They aim to cover the families' travel, lodging, and funeral expenses, which are not included in Idaho's Crime Victims Compensation Program. Kohberger's attorneys argue that public donations have mitigated any financial losses, citing several GoFundMe campaigns. However, prosecutors maintain that these donations lack contractual obligations and do not lessen Kohberger's restitution responsibilities. They also highlight that his inability to earn money while imprisoned does not absolve him from paying restitution.

Kohberger faces a total of over $300,000 in fines and restitution. The upcoming restitution hearing on November 5 in Ada County will further explore these financial obligations. This case continues to draw significant public attention, potentially affecting Kohberger's financial future through media and other avenues.
