Goncalves received applause from the courtroom after reading her statement on July 23. During an interview with NewsNation on July 24, she recalled what it was like to face Bryan Kohberger, the man who murdered her sister along with Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.

Kohberger was sentenced to life in prison for the stabbing murders of four University of Idaho students, one of whom was Goncalves' sister.

Alivea Goncalves said she would not offer her sister's murderer tears. Instead she called him "pathetic," "as dumb as they come."

Alivea’s speech is a masterclass in destroying a narcissist’s ego by breaking down any sense of superiority or control he may have felt he gained during his crime. Alivea’s powerful statement earned applause in the courtroom that the judge didn’t try to quell.
