Keith Morrison: 科尔伯格在法庭上表现得非常规矩,注重细节,这与他之前的形象有所不同。他穿着衬衫和领带,坐姿端正,认真听取法官的指示。在检察官陈述案件事实后,法庭气氛变得有些激动,一些家庭成员几乎在啜泣。我认为州检察官达成认罪协议是为了确保终身监禁,避免受害者作证,并节省大量资金。对于科尔伯格的作案动机,有人认为他想让漂亮的女孩变丑陋,这可能是一个解释,但我们可能永远无法知道真相。 Shane Bishop: 科尔伯格的认罪回答迅速而肯定,这令人不寒而栗。他似乎急于承认罪行,像一个精通犯罪学的学生。我认为辩方在审判前试图提出的替代犯罪者证据被法官驳回,加上科尔伯格的星空观测不在场证明很薄弱,辩方已无计可施。我认为法官一直在以微妙的方式推动此案达成认罪协议。 Blayne Alexander: 科尔伯格已同意认罪,以换取免于死刑。一些家庭对认罪协议感到宽慰,但也有家庭反对。人们对科尔伯格案非常关注,希望通过审判解答一些问题,但案件中未解答的问题包括作案动机和凶器下落。科尔伯格将穿着囚服参加量刑听证会,受害者家属将有机会发言,但科尔伯格的父母是否会发表声明,以及科尔伯格本人是否会发言,这些都是悬而未决的问题。 Steve Gonsalves: 我希望由社区来决定科尔伯格是否有罪,而不是由一个人来决定。我认为州检察官与魔鬼达成了协议。
