The family of Ethan Chapin, one of four University of Idaho students killed last year, will not attend suspect Bryan Kohberger's murder trial.
Stacy Chapin, Ethan Chapin's mother, said on NBC's Today show that she and her family will not appear at court for the trial, as doing so wouldn't be energy"well spent."She said the family is focused on preserving Ethan Chapin's legacy and healing rather than on Kohberger.
Shortly after his death, the Chapin family started Ethan's Smile Foundation to honor Ethan Chapin. They also created a yellow-and-white tulip mix called"Ethan's Smile" that is for sale at Tulip Valley Farms, where Ethan Chapin worked planting bulbs."He was warm. He was inclusive. He was the kid you wanted to hang out with. He was always game to participate in anything," she said."He was kind.
Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, and Madison Mogen, 21, were allegedly murdered by Kohberger, 28, on Nov. 13, who stabbed them to death in their home in Moscow, Idaho. Kernodle was Chapin's girlfriend, and Goncalves and Mogen were best friends.
