Bryan Kohberger sentencing: Idaho college student killer sentenced to life in prison

Friend Emily Alandt read a statement on behalf of Bethany Funke, one of the surviving roommates, describing how she woke up to her "worst nightmare."

"Never in a million years would I have thought that something like this would have happened to our closest friends," Alandt read in court.

Funke said she didn't know what happened that morning and carries regret and guilt over not calling 911 right away.

"I was so frantic that morning and scared to death not knowing what had happened. And when I made the 911 call I couldn't even get out the words," she said.

"That was the worst day of my life and I know it always will be," Alandt read through tears.

Funke said she thinks every day why she got to live and her friends did not, and said she felt "sick with guilt" when she looked at her friends' families.

She said the crime has left her terrified. She said she slept in her parents' room for nearly a year and made them double lock each door. She said she has never slept through the night and constantly wakes up in panic, worried that someone is breaking in, trying to hurt or someone she loves.

His team of defense attorneys, led by Anne Taylor, announced last week that they won't be releasing any statements after the sentencing.

Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson will take part in a news conference after the sentencing is over, along with Moscow Police Chief Anthony Dahlinger, Moscow Police Corporal Brett Payne, and Idaho State Police Lt. Darren Gilbertson.

The news conference is intended to provide some insight into the investigation and key developments in the case, the Moscow Police Department said.

Bryan Kohberger entered the packed courtroom wearing a bright orange prison jumpsuit.

His attorneys asked Fourth District Judge Steven Hippler for a five minute break, which the judge granted.

Kohberger's parents attended his change of plea hearing on July 2, their first time in court with their son since his arrest in Pennsylvania more than two years ago. Attorneys for the Kohbergers said in a statement at the time, "The Kohbergers are asking members of the media for privacy, respect, and responsible judgment during this time. We will continue to allow the legal process to unfold with respect to all parties."
