Idaho Murder Victim's Mom Offers Forgiveness in Court, Pleads With Killer to Accept Jesus: 'I…Pray For You'

Billy Hallowell : Jul 24, 2025  Faithwire

"It is Christ who lives in me that has given me the strength to forgive you. It was of no power of my own." -Cara Kernodle

[Faithwire.com] Just days after Cara Kernodle shared her moving testimony with CBN News, the mother, whose daughter, Xana, was murdered Nov. 13, 2022, along with three other University of Idaho students, joined affected family members and friends in delivering victim impact statements.

Kernodle opened her moving courtroom message by directly addressing Bryan Kohberger, a 30-year-old former criminal justice doctoral candidate who admitted to the killings.

"My daughter was beautiful both inside and out," she said during Kohberger's sentencing hearing. "She had a light so bright it will live on forever in our hearts. She brought joy and laughter to her friends, her family, and anyone in her presence."

Kernodle continued, "Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ now has her in His loving arms in Heaven, where she can never be harmed ever again for eternity."

The grieving mom then went on to share her testimony, noting that she came to know Jesus because of Xana, and believes many others will come to know the Lord as a result of her daughter.

From there, Kernodle offered forgiveness.

"It is Christ who lives in me that has given me the strength to forgive you," she said. "It was of no power of my own."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
