The Sentencing of Bryan Kohberger

As a judge told Bryan Kohberger he would die in prison, the families of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves and Xana Kernodle courageously spoke out in court, honoring the lives of their loved ones and speaking openly about the trauma they have endured. The court also heard tearful words from surviving roommates Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, whose lives were forever changed that night on King Road in Moscow, Idaho. 48 Hours correspondent Peter Van Sant reflects on the emotional day and how people are coming to terms with not knowing the “why” in this case with CBS News legal analyst Mary Fulginiti and Washington State University journalism professor Matt Loveless.
