(NewsNation) — Alivea Goncalves says she was told that some of her sister Kaylee's wounds, first thought to be a result of her trying to fight off killer Bryan Kohberger, may have actually been inflicted after her death.

Alivea posted a TikTok about how the list of exhibits the state planned to use if Kohberger had gone to trial showed that some of the wounds actually happened after Kaylee stopped fighting back.

NewsNation obtained those exhibits, which included 26 separate photos of the wounds found on Kaylee Goncalves after her murder.

"I don’t want to speculate on what he (Kohberger) was doing, if it was to cause pain or whatnot, but these wounds did not make a lot of sense," Alivea Goncalves said in the video.

Alivea Goncalves told NewsNation she thinks Kohberger had three times as long as he would have needed to commit the murders. Kohberger was in the house with the four victims from roughly 4 a.m. to 4:25 a.m.

She also acknowledged that her face-to-face meeting with prosecutors was "traumatic" and emphasized that things may have been smoother if they had arranged previous meetings. Goncalves said that prosecutors told her that more court documents will soon be revealed, but they haven't gotten everything from the state or FBI.

"I think she left with more respect for the prosecutor," Entin said. "Of course, she still doesn't agree with the plea deal and her family has been very outspoken about being upset with a lot of things along the way when it comes to how the state handled the case."

Kohberger is serving a life sentence after accepting a plea deal in July, admitting to the 2022 murders of Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin at the University of Idaho.

Bryan Kohberger refusing to pay compensation to victims' families: Court docs

Kohberger is refusing to pay compensation to the families of the students he murdered, according to court documents.

According to the Daily Mail, Kohberger’s defense team argued he should not have to pay the extra money requested by prosecutors on behalf of the families of Mogen and Goncalves because they received money from the public through GoFundMe campaigns.

His defense also pointed out that Kohberger has no way to pay because he is in prison.

"The additional funds sought do not qualify as an economic loss under Idaho Code 19-5304 because Steve and Kristi Goncalves and Karen Laramie received extensive funds through multiple GoFundMe campaigns that specifically asked for and covered the expenses sought," the court documents said.

"Mr. Kohberger has no ability now or in the future to pay restitution because he is serving four consecutive life sentences plus 10 years."

Under the terms of the plea deal, Kohberger agreed the prosecution could seek restitution for the families to cover funeral expenses and other costs. The day he was sentenced, Kohberger was ordered to pay over $250,000 in criminal fines and fees to the state, $20,000 civil judgment for each of the families and nearly $29,000 through the Idaho Crime Victim Compensation Fund.

The state also filed a motion in late September seeking an additional $20,000 for Goncalves' parents and more than $6,900 for Mogen's mother.
