“They would have been friendly with you. If you had approached them in their daily lives, they would have instructed you, they thanked you for the fulfillment … in a world that rejected you, they would have shown mercy,” he said.
Goncalves said that “he will not stay here and will give you to want”: tears and tremors.
She called him “Sociopata, Psychopath, murderer”, before asking him a series of questions.
Your questions included: “Where is the murderer, the clothes you used that night? What did you bring to the house with you? … What were Kaylee’s last words?”
“You did not win … You are a delusional, pathetic and hypochondriac loser who thought you were much smarter than everyone else,” he said.
“You are not special or deep, not mysterious or exceptional. You never twist again. No one is afraid of you today. Nobody is intimidated by you, nobody is impressed by you, nobody thinks you are important,” he said.
He concluded his statement telling Kohberger, if he hadn’t attacked them while they sleep, “Kaylee would have kicked your butt.”
The spectators in the court hall applauded when Goncalves resigned.
