People are applauding Kaylee Goncalves’s sister’s powerful speech at the Idaho college murders trial. Alivea Goncalves delivered a brutal monologue directed at Bryan Kohberger, who pleaded guilty to the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students and accepted a plea deal that spared him the death penalty.
During the sentencing hearing, Kohberger remained silent, but the victims’ families, including Alivea Goncalves, issued emotional statements. Alivea began her speech by telling him, “Sit up straight when I talk to you,” and her words quickly intensified. She called him a “delusional, pathetic, hypochondriac loser,” and criticized his failed rap career, saying, “The only thing you’ve failed at more miserably than being a murderer is trying to be a rapper.”
She sharply described him as “basic” and a “wannabe,” and added, “The truth is, the scariest part about you is how painfully average you turned out to be. The truth is you’re as dumb as they come: stupid, clumsy, slow, sloppy, weak, dirty.” Alivea made it clear she saw through him, telling Kohberger, “Don’t ever try to convince yourself you mattered just because someone finally said your name out loud.”
Her most biting comment was, “If you hadn’t attacked them in their sleep in the middle of the night like a pedophile, Kaylee would have kicked your fucking ass.” The speech has received widespread praise online, with many commenters expressing admiration for her courage and strength.
One social media user wrote, “Now these are the statements he needs to hear!!!!” while another pointed out, “That is DEVASTATING for a narcissist.” Many others noted how her words reflected the deep love of a sister and the resilience of the victims’ families amidst their grief.
