This week, Idaho lawmakers finally moved to fix it. Senator Tammy Nichols introduced legislation to modernize the state's 48-year-old statute, and the bill unanimously advanced out of committee. Representative Elaine Price — whose district includes three of the victims' hometowns — co-sponsored it, saying: \"Victims should not feel continually victimized.\" The numbers are infuriating. Kohberger owes over $300,000 in fines and fees. Restitution to the families totals about $32,000. While awaiting trial, he received more than $28,000 in donations to his jail account. Meanwhile, the Goncalves and Mogen families were left arguing in court over who should pay for their daughters' urns — a dispute over roughly $3,000. Idaho's current law was written in 1978.

The new bill addresses digital monetization, extends escrow periods by court order, and includes First Amendment protections to survive constitutional challenges. It focuses on profit, not speech. But the clock is already ticking. The families of Kaylee, Maddie, Xana, and Ethan deserve better than a legal system playing catch-up.
