The father of one of the Idaho murders victims said he would welcome a retrial after Bryan Kohberger requested one, saying the quadruple murderer would certainly face the death penalty. Steve Goncalves, the father of Kaylee, told NewsNation that he wants a 'second shot at the accused murderer.' 'I would love for us to be able to reline him up and hold him accountable to the full extent of what he’s done,' he said. 'I would love it.'This guy wasn’t even a member of our society. He wasn’t even a member of our state, and we’ve really just been totally put through the wringer having to defend this loser.' In a statement to The New York Times, Kohberger announced his plan to 'withdraw' his plea and enter a new not guilty one. 'My actual innocence is my truth, and the plea, hinged on by false promises and blatant disinformation, MUST be withdrawn,' he wrote. The convicted murderer, who is currently serving four life sentences, said he 'welcomed' the State of Idaho to have the 'opportunity to prove their case at trial, as well as to, again, file for the death penalty.' 'Unfortunately, the truth shall never be derived from the State's myopic narrative, a work of fiction which has yet to evolve since the PCA was released nearly four years ago, and its faulty premises were never challenged at trial.' Bryan Kohberger announced he plans on petition for a retrial a year after taking a plea deal for the deaths of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin Steve Goncalves, the father of Kaylee, welcomed the wish, saying he wants a 'second shot at the accused murderer' and is positive Kohberger would receive the death penalty Kohberger narrowly avoided the stand during his first trial, as he took a plea deal before it could start. He has requested a new public defender, The Times reported. In public filings, the murderer claimed his previous representation hadn't adequately depicted what life in prison would be like and had pledged that he'd get employment and visits. He also claimed he was given ineffective counsel, who failed to review exculpatory evidence with him. However, Goncalves said he can tell Kohberger exactly what would happen to him if he were given the life of a normal prisoner, he told NewsNation. 'If he still wants to know what’s waiting for him, he can always write me. I can tell him what some people tell me is waiting for him. It only gets worse. And he’s actually got it pretty good right now,' he told the outlet. 'They’re protecting him to the fullest extent of the law. But eventually, he has to be treated like a normal prisoner and those days are going to be pretty scary ahead.' Goncalves also believes it would be a waste of Idaho's money to do a retrial and believes the murderer is only requesting it due to being an 'egomaniac psychopath.' 'I would love for us to be able to reline him up and hold him accountable to the full extent of what he’s done,' Steve, pictured with his wife, said. 'I would love it' Kaylee and Madison, as well as the two others, were murdered inside their home When Kohberger pleaded guilty to killing the roommates, he did not have to provide a motive for the murders. And he has not yet revealed one to the public 'I don’t want to put our community through another few million dollars,' he said. Kohberger's petition comes one year after he pleaded guilty to killing Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin inside the home they shared during the University of Idaho's school year. All four victims were found with blunt-force injuries. When Kohberger pleaded guilty, he did not have to provide a motive for the murders. And he has not yet revealed one to the public. The Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador told The Times his office is 'ready to do whatever is necessary to ensure justice is fully carried out.' The Daily Mail has reached out to the Goncalves for comment.
