The Kentucky Supreme Court ruled that a Louisville man convicted of the murder of three people, including two young boys, will remain in prison.
The Supreme Court upheld Brice Rhodes’ life sentence without the possibility of parole.
He was convicted in 2023 on three counts of murder, tampering with physical evidence, and two counts of abuse of a corpse.
A jury took less than an hour to convict Rhodes of the murders, one count of tampering with physical evidence, and two counts of abuse of a corpse in the shooting of Christopher Jones on May 4, 2016.
Rhodes believed that a pair of young brothers who saw him would report the crime. He then stabbed 14 year-old Maurice Gordon and 16 year-old Larry Ordway. He then set their bodies on fire before dumping them behind an abandoned house on Riverpark Drive.
During his trial, his attorneys argued that Rhodes suffered from an intellectual disability and mental illness.
Rhodes appealed the sentence but the Supreme Court opted to uphold the verdict.
