Calls for Leniency in Sentencing for Brice Rhodes' Triple Murder Convictions
Attorneys and family members of Brice Rhodes, who was found guilty of three counts of murder, pleaded for leniency in his sentencing, citing his tough life and mental disabilities. Prosecutors and family members of the victims asked for the harshest sentence, life in prison without parole. The jury will deliberate on Wednesday, with Rhodes facing a possible sentence of 20 years to life. Rhodes had a history of outbursts in court and was deemed ineligible for the death penalty due to his documented history of serious mental illness or intellectual disability.
