NEED TO KNOW

• Dylan Mortensen, the University of Idaho student whose four roommates were murdered by Bryan Kohberger, spoke for the first time since the fatal stabbings at his sentencing hearing
• She bravely denigrated Kohberger as he sat just a few feet away from her: "He is a hollow vessel. Something less than human. A body without empathy or remorse"
• Mortensen was the lone eyewitness to see Kohberger on the night of the murders, watching him as he exited her Moscow home after killing four

Dylan Mortensen, the one eyewitness to the University of Idaho murders, appeared in court to deliver a powerful victim impact statement at the sentencing hearing for Bryan Kohberger.

After taking a minute to collect herself, Mortensen delivered her statement through tears in which she discussed the fear she still feels every day since losing her four friends and then bravely vilified the man who took their lives as he sat just a few feet away.

"He is a hollow vessel. Something less than human. A body without empathy or remorse," Mortensen told the court.

She later said of Kohberger: "He chose destruction, he chose evil. He feels nothing. He tried to take everything from me." 

Kohberger showed no emotion at any point during her remarks.
