@nbcnews: In an exclusive interview with NBC News' Liz Kreutz, the parents of Ethan Chapin, one of the four victims in the Idaho college murders case, are speaking out for the first time since Bryan Kohberger's surprise plea deal.
Ethan’s family is so mentally healthy and handling this with such maturity and class

This is why the goncalves family needs to not speak for all of the victims, including the surviving roommates. They’re allowed their opinion but they tend to try to speak for the group

He would never be put to death.
He would have more than 20 years of appeals.
This way there are no appeals.

I agree with them, they don’t have to spend years and years of appeals and going to the parole board. It’s done. Let the prisoners take care of him now.

This ending also gives him less time in the spotlight and wastes less time and money which I believe is great for everyone.

And he’ll get paroled in 20 or so years. Remember people said the brothers would spend the rest of their life in prison but they’ll be getting out soon.

I love how Stacie doesn’t talk down on or bad about the other families for feeling what they feel when asked. We all know they are referring to Kaylee’s dad. And she’s right, everyone is entitled to feel how they feel.

I get why some would be frustrated but a trial is a risk because there is a possibility he could be found not guilty. A plea deal is an admission of guilt and is sure thing. I think it’s great

I agree with them. Death penalty wouldn't have been justice. It's painless and quick (once you get there). Years of appeals and BS. This plea deal is also saving so many resources that can be put towards other cases that need it more. It also will hopefully keep crime scene photos and stuff out of the media. They don't have to go through the trial and listen to lawyers try and drag their kids dirty laundry out to distract from Brian and all the other stuff that goes along with those trials

No ..we want to know why the 2 survivors waited 7 hrs to call 911…?? Seems so sketchy after reporting that they saw the Monster at about 2:30AM
