Scores of people lined up outside an Idaho courthouse for 13 hours, clamoring to get a front row seat to Bryan Kohberger’s sentencing hearing — in hopes the cold-blooded killer would finally reveal a motive for the quadruple murders.

At least 50 people were already snaked around the Ada County Court in Boise before the sun came up Wednesday — hours before the courthouse was even scheduled to start letting people in for the high-profile hearing.

At one point, an argument apparently broke out when some were accused of trying to cut the growing line, the Daily Mail reported.

Some avid case-followers were spotted arriving as early Tuesday evening in a desperate effort to snag a spot in line, but they were quickly turned away by local cops and courthouse officials who cited a Boise city ordinance prohibiting overnight camping.

Shortly after the sun rose, an Idaho State Police officer ran a K9 through the plaza in front of the courthouse, carefully checking for the camera equipment brought by news outlets and the scores of onlookers for explosives.

The wild scenes unfolded as Kohberger, who took a last-minute plea deal, was expected to be sentenced to life in prison over the 2022 murders of Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves and Ethan Chapin near the University of Idaho campus.

It wasn’t clear if Kohberger planned to speak during the hearing.

The families of his four victims, though, were still holding out hope he’d admit to why he carried out the gruesome slayings.

The families and two surviving roommates of the victims will also have the opportunity to deliver victim impact statements and describe the turmoil they’ve suffered since the murders. 

In exchange for Kohberger admitting guilt and waiving his right to appeal, prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty.

Instead, both sides agreed to recommend that he serve four consecutive life sentences without parole for the killings.
