He was also previously convicted as a sex offender for an incident that occurred in 2009. In total, he had already been “convicted twice for assault, four times for domestic violence, and twice for violating terms for his probation,” according to TrueCrimeGarage.
Rhodes’ Murder Charges and Courtroom Behavior
Brice Rhodes is a murder suspect in three homicide cases of 2020. He is charged for shooting and murdering Christopher Jones in May 2016. In addition to it, he is also charged for the murder of the teen brothers, Larry Ordway, 14 years old, and Maurice “Reece” Gordon, 16 years old in the same month. According to the police, the murderer stabbed the teens and later burned their bodies. Brice Rhodes even confirmed that he killed the teen brothers because they saw him shooting Jones.
Rhodes has been notorious for his disrespectful and disruptive conduct in the courtroom. He has accused the then presiding Judge of the Jefferson Circuit Court, Charles Cunningham Jr. of favoritism and racism. He also claimed that the judge had a sexual affair with the prosecuting attorney and implied that the judge was a hidden Ku Klux Klan member. He also fired multiple lawyers and mostly looked after his case by himself. He has also threatened to kill the judge, the prosecutor, and the families of the victims.
Rhodes’ Ethnicity and Its Implications
Brice Rhodes’ ethnicity is white, but he has often used racial slurs and insults against the judge and the prosecutor, who are also white. He has also invoked the Black Lives Matter movement and claimed that he was being treated unfairly because of his skin color. However, his claims have been dismissed by the court and the public as baseless and irrational.
Rhodes’ ethnicity may have also influenced his relationship with the teen brothers, who were black. According to some sources, Rhodes was a rapper who went by the name of “Rambo” and had connections with the local gang culture. He may have befriended the brothers through his music and lured them into his criminal activities. However, this is not confirmed by the official investigation.
Rhodes’ ethnicity does not justify or excuse his violent and heinous actions. He is facing multiple charges of murder, arson, tampering with evidence, and terroristic threatening. He is currently awaiting trial at the Louisville Metro Corrections. If convicted, he could face the death penalty or life imprisonment without parole.
