\nThe Kentucky Supreme Court ruled that a Louisville man convicted of the murder of three people, including two young boys, will remain in prison.<\/p>\n
The Supreme Court upheld Brice Rhodes\u2019 life sentence without the possibility of parole.<\/p>\n
He was convicted in 2023 on three counts of murder, tampering with physical evidence, and two counts of abuse of a corpse.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
During his trial, his attorneys argued that Rhodes suffered from an intellectual disability and mental illness.<\/p>\n
Rhodes appealed the sentence but the Supreme Court opted to uphold the verdict.
