In it, the Latah County Prosecutor&#8217;s Office says Kohberger&#8217;s attorneys requested a deal and he accepted it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The letter also states that as part of the plea agreement, Kohberger will plead guilty to all of the counts against him and in return he would be sentenced to &#8220;four consecutive (back-to-back) life sentences on the four murder counts.&#8221; He would also waive all rights to appeal.<\/p>\n<p>A change of plea hearing is expected Wednesday, according to a lawyer for the Goncalves family. If Kohberger does enter a guilty plea, the sentencing will be in late July. In Idaho, a judge has the authority to reject plea deals, but it&#8217;s considered rare.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors added in the letter that if Kohberger does not accept the plea agreement as expected, &#8220;we are prepared to proceed to trial as planned.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n        <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/jonathan-vigliotti\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Jonathan  Vigliotti<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Jonathan Vigliotti is a CBS News correspondent based in Los Angeles.
