IDAHO COURTHOUSE – In a dramatic turn at the Idaho Fourth District Court in Ada County, Alivea Goncalves, sister of victim Kaylee Goncalves, delivered a powerful and unsparing victim impact statement directly to convicted murderer Bryan Kohberger. Her testimony, devoid of tears, focused on questioning Kohberger's character and motives, rather than expressing sorrow. Addressing Kohberger, who appeared in an orange jumpsuit, Ms. Goncalves challenged his perceived intelligence and control. "I won't stand here and give you what you want. I won't offer you tears, I won't offer you trembling," she stated firmly. She proceeded to label him a "sociopath, psychopath, murderer," and a "delusional, pathetic, hypochondriac, loser." Ms. Goncalves pressed Kohberger with a series of rhetorical questions, inquiring about his life before the murders, his preparation, and his thoughts during the attacks. She also questioned his choice of victims and the whereabouts of the murder weapon. In a particularly scathing remark, she stated, "The only thing you failed more miserably at than being a murderer is trying to be a rapper." She continued to dismantle his self-perception, asserting, "You didn't create devastation, you revealed it in yourself." Ms. Goncalves concluded by telling Kohberger, "No one is scared of you today. No one is intimidated by you. No one is impressed by you. No one thinks that you are important." She added, "If you hadn't attacked them in their sleep, in the middle of the night, like a pedophile, Kaylee would have kicked your f***ing ass." The statement underscored the profound grief and anger of the victims' families, offering a rare glimpse into their raw emotions during the legal proceedings.
