The family of Kaylee Goncalves is livid over the plea deal offered to accused murderer Bryan Kohberger ... and now it appears they're hoping the feds will step in.
Here's the deal .... Kohberger will plead guilty to four counts of first-degree murder, but prosecutors will take the death penalty off the table and recommend life without the possibility of parole. But some families of the four victims say the plea deal is unacceptable -- and unfair to them.
The Goncalves family is now asking supporters who are just as upset as they are over the major development to get loud ... and send their criticisms to the United States Department of Justice.

The chopped-up body of 19-year-old Fabiola Alejandra Caicedo Piña -- who went by "China Baby" on social media -- was located by plant workers during a routine inspection of a river filtration grid in Lima on June 9, according to multiple reports.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the actress is very much single despite the swirling speculation after she was seen spending time on a stroll through the streets of Venice, Italy with both Bloom and Brady.
Our sources say she's not interested in dating anyone after calling off her engagement to fiancé Jonathan Davino. We broke the story ... the former couple separated in January.

A rep for the Broward County Sheriff's Office tells TMZ ... the Disney crew was crucially instrumental in rescuing the dad and his daughter because, simply put, they were well-trained and well-prepared.

The Bryan Kohberger plea deal in Idaho is not the first controversial bargain struck by the same District Attorney's Office ... because the top prosecutor made a similar deal nearly 29 years ago to the day ... and it also involved murders and the death penalty.
TMZ did some digging and we found out that back in July 1996, Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson -- who still holds the same position today -- struck a deal to spare the life of a man who admitted to killing two people.
The parallels here are eerie ... because in that case, two Chinese nationals were stabbed to death in their Moscow, ID apartment ... and a former University of Idaho student copped to the murders.
Todd Chrisley's revealing one of his biggest behind-bars blowups ... and it wasn't with just any inmate. Nope, it was with the "Varsity Blues" college admissions scam ringleader himself, Rick Singer.
Just weeks after scoring a presidential pardon from Trump, Todd sat down with wife Julie on daughter Savannah’s 'Unlocked' podcast -- where he spoke about how he hit his boiling point when he caught Singer badmouthing Savannah over her taking the Bureau of Prisons to task on behalf of her dad.
Todd claimed he marched straight up to Rick and warned him he didn’t care about the consequences -- saying, "I’ll rip your head off and s*** down your neck if you talk about my child again!"
The ongoing legal war between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has taken another turn ... with notable online personalities being drawn into the fight over possible collusion via their Blake-bashing commentary.
A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... Perez Hilton, Candace Owens and Andy Signore have all been subpoenaed to turn over any and all communications with Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer parties.
The subpoenas may be connected to the judge's order earlier this month allowing Blake to take discovery in order to uncover the alleged lengths -- if any -- Baldoni's side may have gone to in working with notable anti-Blake content creators ... as part of the alleged smear campaign.
Two of the families of the Idaho college student murder victims are furious over the Bryan Kohberger plea deal ... but the other two families are fully behind the move.
Jim Chapin, father of Ethan Chapin -- who was murdered along with three other college students -- tells TMZ the family will appear in court Wednesday to support the plea deal.
Jim Chapin is not alone. Ben Mogen, father of Madison Mogen -- who was also stabbed to death -- says he supports the plea deal, which takes the death penalty off the table ... because Kohberger will have to think about what he did for the rest of his life behind bars.
