On July 23, 2025, Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without parole, plus an additional 10 years for burglary. He was also given various fines and civil penalties. The Judge Hippler stated that Kohberger would be imprisoned until he dies and would likely be moved out of Idaho for his own safety. The judge delivered a powerful statement, acknowledging the courage and strength of the victims' families and survivors, and emphasizing that focusing on "why" gives Kohberger undue power. The judge also clarified that while Kohberger waived his right to appeal, he still has the right to file a notice of appeal, though doing so might violate his plea agreement and potentially lead to the state seeking the death penalty. The judge imposed the maximum possible fines and penalties, speculating that this was partly to ensure that any future profits Kohberger might attempt to make from his crimes would go to restitution and fines.
