Back in July, Bryan Kohberger pled guilty to the 2022 murders of four Idaho college students.
The families of the victims can hopefully take some solace in the fact that Kohberger will remain behind bars for the rest of his life.
But it seems that that’s the only consolation they’ll be receiving from the unrepentant mass murderer.
Bryan Kohberger claims he’s incapable of covering victims’ funeral expenses
On Thursday, a judge ordered Kohberger to shell out $3,007.79 to pay for the urns of 2 of his victims — Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen.
He was also ordered to pay $31,964.67 in restitution to the families of his other 2 victims — Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.
According to TMZ, defense lawyers argued that their client should be exempt from those payments as “Kohberger has no way to make money.”
That might sound like a strong argument, but we live in bizarre times, and a surprising number of people are obsessed with serial killers.
And so, the judge pointed that Kohberger has “received nearly enough through donations to cover the amount of restitution already ordered.”
The judge also noted that Kohberger’s donations are still rolling in.
Yes, hundreds of people have sent money to Bryan Kohberger. Like we said, strande times.
Anyway, there are also legitimate methods for Kohberger to earn money, but apparently he’s not interested in those.
The judge pointed out that Kohberger is eligible to get a job at the prison and gradually pay his restitution that way.
Of course, Kohberger was a PhD candidate before he got arrested, and he might consider mopping floors or washing dishes to be beneath him — but maybe he should’ve thought about that before he brutally murdered four college kids.
Kohberger’s crime remain some of the most horrific in recent years
Sadly, mass murder has become a fact of life in America.
But usually, the violence takes the form of shootings in public places.
The four victims in Kohberger’s case were found stabbed to death in their off-campus rental house.
Investigators later pieced together a chilling sequence: Kohberger allegedly entered via a sliding glass door, made his way through the home, and carried out the killings one by one.
In the months since he pled guilty, Kohberger has complained of sexual harassment and other forms of mistreatment behind bars.
But for obvious reasons, he hasn’t received a whole lot of sympathy.
The victims’ families will be haunted by the horrors of Kohberger’s crimes for the rest of their days — but at least the “donations” he’s inexplicably receiving will now be funneled to a much more worthy cause.

We have an update on the passing of Cleto Escobedo.
As previously reported, the musician — best known as the band leader on Jimmy Kimmel Live — died this month at the age of 59.
The news was confirmed via a social media message related by Cleto’s family, which led to a heartfelt and tear-filled monologue by Kimmel in response to losing his close friend.
Now, meanwhile, we can confirm that Cleto died of cardiogenic shock, according to his death certificate, limiting the heart’s ability to pump enough blood to keep him alive.
Vasodilatory shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation and alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver are listed as underlying causes.
Other conditions that contributed to the musician’s death were sepsis… graft versus host disease… immunosuppressed… chronic kidney disease… and pneumonia, according to this same document.
After missing an episode last week of his ABC talk show over a “personal matter” several days ago, Kimmel dedicated over 20 minutes in his return to talking about Cleto, someone he had known since he was nine years old.
“Early this morning, we lost a great friend, father, son, musician and man, my longtime bandleader Cleto Escobedo III,” Kimmel announced on Instagram.
“To say that we are heartbroken is an understatement. Cleto and I have been inseparable since I was nine years old. The fact that we got to work together every day is a dream neither of us could ever have imagined would come true. Cherish your friends and please keep Cleto’s wife, children and parents in your prayers.”
Escobedo has worked on Jimmy Kimmel Live! since it premiered in 2003 and was the leader of Cleto and the Cletones, the late-night show’s in-house band.
During the November 11 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the comedian broke down in his monologue as he paid tribute to Escobedo.
Kimmel noted he’s “had to do some hard monologues” over the past two decades but explained, “this one’s the hardest, because late last night, early this morning, we lost someone very special who was much too young to go.”
“It’s just not fair,” he said. “He was the nicest, most humble, kind and always funny person… Cherish your friends. We’re not here forever.”
Before working for Kimmel, Escobedo had his own record deal.
He formed Cleto and the Cletones in 1995 with guitarist Toshi Yangagi, bassist Jimmy Earl, keyboard player Jeff Babko and drummer Jonathan Dresel.
His father, Cleto Escobedo Jr., later joined the group after playing saxophone in a 1960s rock and soul band.

We have tragic news to report from the world of country music:
Todd Snider — the beloved singer-songwriter who developed a massive cult following during his decades in the industry — has passed away unexpectedly.
News of Snider’s death comes courtesy of a statement from Aimless, Inc., the record label he helped to co-found:
Todd Snider’s record label announces his death
“Aimless, Inc. Headquarters is heartbroken to share that our Founder, our Folk Hero, our Poet of the World, our Vice President of the Abrupt Change Dept., the Storyteller, our beloved Todd Daniel Snider has departed this world,” reads a statement on the company’s website.
“Where do we find the words for the one who always had the right words, who knew how to distill everything down to its essence with words and song while delivering the most devastating, hilarious, and impactful turn of phrases?” the statement continues.
“He relayed so much tenderness and sensitivity through his songs, and showed many of us how to look at the world through a different lens. He got up every morning and started writing, always working towards finding his place among the songwriting giants that sat on his record shelves, those same giants who let him into their lives and took him under their wings, who he studied relentlessly. Guy Clark, John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, Jerry Jeff Walker.”
An Oregon native, Snider moved to Nashville in the 1990s, where he studied under songwriting idols of his, like Jimmy Buffett and Billy Joe Shaver.
His 2004 album, East Nashville Skyline, made him a key figure in the alt-country scene.
Snider’s death follows a tumultuous period in his life
On November 3, Snider was arrested in Salt Lake City and booked on charges of disorderly conduct, threat of violence, and trespassing.
Snider was hospitalized after being taken into police custody.
The nature of the incident remains unclear, but Snider sustained injuries serious enough that he was forced to postpone the remainder of his tour.
“Todd will be unable to perform for an underdetermined amount of time,” a statement from his label read.
“We deeply apologize for the cancellation and any inconvenience it causes. We appreciate your understanding as Todd receives needed medical treatment. We hope to have more information on new dates soon.”
We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
Our thoughts go out to Todd Snider’s loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.

Christina Ricci has been married and divorced over the years.
But the iconic Wednesday Addams actress has had a number of other complex relationships over the years.
She has gone from a child star to a mother of two — and remains a working actress to this day.
To better understand where things have gone right (and wrong) in love for Ricci, let’s take a look at her history.
Christina Ricci and Adam Goldberg were reportedly on-again, off-again
Adam Goldberg and Christina Ricci worked together on I Love Your Work, a 2003 mystery.
She starred. He wrote and directed.
The project is likely where they met.
Reportedly, they were an on-again, off-again couple between 2003 and 2007.
However, they clearly split things off … because her next relationship began in 2007, fans believe.
We know very little about whatever she ahd with Kick Gurry
In 2007, it looks like Ricci bonded with Kick Gurry while they filmed the live-action anime adaptation, Speed Racer.
However, much about their erstwhile entanglement is purely speculation.
Yes, there are paparazzi shots of the two of them showing PDA around Los Angeles.
That is about it.
After Ricci moved on, however, it looks like things became much more serious.
Christina Ricci and Owen Benjamin were briefly engaged in 2009
In 2008, Christina Ricci began dating fellow actor Owen Benjamin.
The two met on the set of All’s Faire in Love.
This relationship was considerable more official and seemingly much more serious.
In March of 2009, Ricci and Benjamin became engaged.
However, only two months later, they broke things off.
Christina Ricci married and divorced James Heerdegen
This is where things take a tragic, unpleasant turn. In February 13, Ricci announced her engagement to James Heerdegen, a dolly grip whom she met while filming Pan Am in 2012.
In October of that year, Ricci and Heerdegen married. The following August, they welcomed Ricci’s first child, Freddie.
In July 2020, Ricci filed to divorce Heerdegen, citing “severe physical and psychological abuse” from her husband, alleging that the abuse frequently took place in front of their son.
LAPD records confirmed the police had responded to at least one call from their shared residence. Ricci also successfully obtained a protective order prior to filing for divorce.
Ultimately, Ricci received a Domestic Abuse Restraining Order against Heerdegen. In April 2021, she received full custody of Freddie, with Heerdegen receiving visitation rights.
In 2021, she and Mark Hampton married and welcomed their first child
At some point, Christina Ricci met celebrity hairstylist Mark Hampton.
About one year after she filed for divorce, she also posted a birthday tribute to Hampton — revealing him to be her boyfriend.
Later, she announced her pregnancy. That October, they married. In December 2021, she and Hampton welcomed their daughter, Cleo.
Ricci would later go on to gush: “I would say the first time I really fell in love in a healthy way is probably in this marriage that I’m in now.”
It sounds like she found happiness. She deserves it.
