round grab a chair grab a beer let's talk some true crime [Music] we have three individuals in custody
three being charged with murder and the police are hoping that one of them will turn on the others and talk now under
questioning Captain Bryce Rhodes denied any knowledge of what had happened to Larry and Maurice he did tell cops after
talking to them for several hours quote I need a lawyer man if you're going to keep all in my face now Taylor the other
individual in custody also initially refused to talk and tell detectives what he knew so police are going to turn to
this anwan Carter the youngest of the three and he decides to help out do the right thing and he tells police
exactly what happened to Maurice and Larry anwan said that on the night of May 21st leading into the 22nd he and
Bryce Rhodes and the two brothers and Jacory Taylor were all hanging out at Bryce's roads place now remember Captain
I said that it was important that Bryce Rhodes Mom said she was out of town when
whatever went down went down right price as successful and famous rapper guy that
he claims to be in the neighborhood lives at home with Mommy of course well that's because he's spending too much
money at the jewelry store that's right so Taylor and Maurice get into a fight at Bryce's place this is what's being
told to police that Maurice pulled it out a knife price roads hit Maurice and took the knife away then anwon also
maintained that Larry and Maurice had stolen some money from Bryce Rhodes this all these actions leading up to
their murder now I want to be perfectly clear here Captain because it's not clear to me how much of this is
true right that there was an altercation that these two boys stole from Bryce Rhodes well also there's a good chance
that none of that's true but also makes it seem like they pulled a knife and then Bryce took the knife away therefore
it being some kind of Act of self-defense right right because the rest of what anwan
would tell the police is basically what you mentioned on yesterday's show that Bryce Rhodes afraid that he's going to
be implicated for Murder by these two Young Bucks that he decides the best way to get them
not to talk is to shut them up permanently and kill them yeah and he ties them up and puts a stocking cap
over their face and and stabs them to death yeah and anwan went on to tell police that he was in the passenger seat
and again this is all because the the two boys were witnesses to this Christopher Jones's murder
where anwan says I was in the passenger seat Maurice one of the young boys was driving and Bryce Rhodes and Larry the
other murder victim were in the back seat of this car when this shooting went down Bryce Rhodes the one doing the
shooting so I do I did find a summary of what anwan told the police this was in The Courier Journal and it
reads after a brief scuffle at his home on May 22nd Bryce Rhodes tied up teenage
brothers Larry Ordway and Maurice Gordon put orderway in a bathroom and then made
Gordon get on his knees and beg for forgiveness Maurice was crying and stuff and he was asking everybody to spare him
Bryce Rhodes then according to Carter put a stocking over Gordon's head gagged him and stabbed him in the chest several
times then Carter said he Bryce Rhodes and Jacory Taylor moved Maurice's body aside and brought
ORD away back into the living room and Bryce started stabbing him then at that time after being threatened by
Bryce Rhodes Carter said that he also stabbed Gordon once and Taylor stabbed Larry ordaway so we've seen this in
other cases Captain right where you have one guy that's a particular particularly evil monster Bryce Rhodes
comes up with this idea this plan to kill these two kids that witnessed the murder and not only is he going to force
these other kids to help him kill these two he's going to make them actively be a part of the murders here's the knife
it's your turn to stab them yeah this is a tough situation because even if Bryce
leaves the room after the step the first stabbing takes place what are you going
to do you're going to run away You're gonna run away and uh I mean that's what makes the most sense you'd think run
away tell the police right right but in that moment you know you could freeze and and you might not be able to
think logically about the steps that you would need to take to to have the cops get this evil bastard before he gets you
well and that's what you do I mean Bryce Rhodes that's exactly what he did he's like you know what I'm gonna make them
not only were they involved in the homicides but in this situation I'm going to make them actively stab one of
the victims so now I don't have to worry about them going out and telling other people because they were actively part
of the murders they're not going to go and seek out police and tell them about me because they know that they're just
as guilty as I am because they took the action with the knife to stab these victims yeah so now not only are they
afraid of you but they're afraid of the consequences even if they go to police so not only did detectives learn about
the murders of these two boys from anwan Carter and some of the information about
the Christopher Jones murder but they learned something that that's really interesting in the Christopher Jones
murder and this is one of the I mean there's a lot of bad parts to this story but this is one of the worst Parts anwan
tells the cops that the whole Christopher Jones murder was a mistake that Bryce Rhodes
the genius that he is and please hear the sarcasm in my voice people Bryce Rhodes [ __ ] mistook Christopher
Jones for a man that was wanted to be killed who had a price on his head right so in all of this Christopher Jones is
just some innocent dude who happens to look like somebody that Bryce Rhodes thought he was going to get paid to kill
yeah and I don't want anybody get to to get confused here and think that oh Bryce Rhodes is some kind of Hitman that
that some gang or whomever desired to hire to pay to kill somebody it's not even that level of
sophistication from my understanding it's simply a gang put a price on some dude's head and anybody that wanted to
kill that guy could collect well Bryce Rhodes decides he's going to be that guy but he's too damn dumb to do it and
accidentally kills the wrong dude in the process probably still try to collect the money hey well I I still
kill I killed a dude that looked like the dude close enough should I get paid something so the other thing too that
and this is an interesting part to the story I don't know how much of this I believe here Captain but anwan also told
police that Bryce Rhodes had told him that he had killed multiple other people not just the three victims we've already
discussed oh I believe it he says that Bryce Rhodes talked about killing about five people but I couldn't find anywhere
where names were given to these other potential victims it could be a situation where anwan does not know any
names that it was it could be real or it could be what I suspect is just another
thing that Bryce Rhodes probably lied about to the people that he knew best to to
create an image of himself that is just not not true right or a scare tactic like yeah man I've killed more people
than this you think I'm afraid to kill you and then through all of this police ended up rounding up another individual
this is a 19 year old Tyran Coleman who was charged with two counts of murder two counts of abuse of a corpse and one
count of tampering with physical evidence in relation to the three murders that we've already discussed
so obviously it didn't take investigators long to bring formal charges against Bryce Rhodes after he
was named by the victim's mother and then the confession by anwan Carter when he told police exactly what happened
they ended up searching the apartment that Bryce Rhodes shared with his mother detectives noted immediately that the
apartment had been thoroughly cleaned with bleach but they were still able to detect blood
evidence inside the apartment they also impounded and searched his vehicle which
revealed plenty of evidence as well Bryce Rhodes was charged with two counts of murder and evidence tampering this
case would be a lot more difficult if it was just he said he said right right but it's not I mean
we have one we have a bunch of eyewitnesses so we have multiple people pointing the finger at Bryce but on top
of that we actually have evidence we have evidence that backs up these eyewitnesses stories and especially the
younger ones that you you would think and I'm glad that they came forward and did the right thing because I don't
think they were put in the best situation I don't think they put themselves in the best situation but
they still have a a possibility of turning things around and making something right with their
life after this horrible incident I agree but to say they came forward gives them far too much credit this is they
they were tracked down and enforced it yeah yeah uh I agree backed into a corner and then started singing now
what's interesting here though Captain is we are currently sitting in a situation look we're we're recording
this in May probably won't come out until June we're actually recording this almost five years to the day that these
two young men were murdered and a trial has been set for Bryce Rhodes for the month of May of this year
2021 and you go holy crap that's five years later and this is a pretty quick investigation to lead to an arrest yeah
well Bryce Rhodes has made all kinds of problems of the Court proceedings and trying to convict him of three murders
now in the years since then since the arrest there's been plenty of court dates and Court hearings so we have a
great idea as we sit here today and discuss the case captain of what police believe happened and the evidence that
they have to back it up because this thing's been in trial for quite some time now they did take off about a year
during the whole covet thing but it shouldn't be long for this guy to to get a conviction I hope and let's go
through some of the stuff that we learned throughout the court proceedings so this is all based off of testimony
that came from the Louisville Metro Police Department their testimony during the court proceedings with these four
individuals that they're going to charge because we have Bryce Rhodes and we have
his three accomplices so they state that Bryce Rhodes Carter and Taylor were the last three to see
Maurice and Larry alive the mother was able to tell the cops that her boys left with those three on that night on the
night that they were killed somehow Maurice and Larry were lured out of their homes and according to the
witnesses Bryce Rhodes had already at this point decided that he was going to kill the two boys to cover up killing
Christopher Jones Rhodes took the boys to his apartment that he shared with his mother
he and the accomplices stabbed the brothers to death before putting their bodies into a vehicle and driving them
to an abandoned house in the West End the boys were dumped in a backyard and whomever tried to set the bodies on fire
to you know to further hide the bodies or at least maybe by the evidence you hide the
evidence and make sure that they couldn't be identified possibly a witness saw someone trying to start a
fire so we have an additional witness here but it was too dark for the witness to be able to ID the person who was
trying to start the fire investigators found blood and physical evidence inside of Bryce Road's
apartment and vehicle and eyewitness saw someone resembling Bryce Rhodes he's look him up he's on YouTube he's all
over the Internet and he's one ugly dude a shitty looking yeah you you would he's
you could pick him out of a lineup he doesn't look you know he's he's a unique ugly guy let's say so this eyewitness
saw someone resembling Bryce Rhodes according to their testimony standing at a dumpster engulfed in flames on May
22nd a witness reported a license plate that matched Bryce Rhodes vehicle near the dumpster inside this dumpster where
the burned remains of blood and trace evidence shoes and clothing these items had been submitted for testing but were
believed to be clothing and other items that belong to Maurice and Larry are victims one of the things found was a
piece of a blanket this is a very big piece of evidence because we can say with this eyewitness's testimony and
another witness giving the license plate of Bryce Rhodes okay Rhodes if you weren't connected to this murder what
were you doing at that dumpster where we found all this evidence the key thing here is this piece of blanket because
this piece of blanket matched the same blanket that was found with the boy's bodies whoever put them in that
blanket tried to burn them at that abandoned lot a piece of that blanket made its way to the dumpster where other
evidence was burned and and discarded of the Rhodes car was found to be missing its back seat a similar back seat that
one would expect to find in his vehicle was found at the site of the dumpster fire so obviously there's blood evidence
on this back seat he wants to get rid of it he rips it out sets it on fire puts it in the dumpster look this guy can't
do anything right I mean he can't no he's not a sophisticated criminal I mean no he can't he kills the wrong guy when
he's trying to do a hit job then he kills these two brothers and he then he tries to discard of them and any
evidence and he can't do that correctly either I mean he can't rap correctly I mean I I don't his tattoos look like
[ __ ] I mean it looks like literally his tattoos like especially when his shirt's
off it looks like he had uh children just draw all over him it's really bad tattoos throughout this we're going to
go into some more of Bryce's actions since he's been arrested and and brought to trial
but and we'll play some clips throughout this but here's what Bryce Rhodes has been up to and I think pay attention
residents of the great state of Kentucky because this has been at your expense that's right this all on the taxpayers
in Kentucky on your dime in June of 2016 Bryce Rhodes court appointed attorney Brandon MacLeod told Rhodes he would
have to withdraw from representing him as he was friends with the victim's grandfather and it would present a
conflict of interest okay this is normal stuff this is stuff that we have seen before
so the attorney tells the judge that when he tells this to Bryce Rhodes Bryce Rose decides to spit on him they
put him in like a Hannibal Lecter mask which that became very popular I I know that I've seen that picture of Bryce and
the Hannibal Lecter mask many times and and didn't know much about the case yeah
so Bryce Rhodes is spitting on his own attorney who's saying hey I have to withdraw because there's a conflict of
interest and good for the attorney because if let's say this is this again Bryce is
too dumb to realize this let's say that this attorney would have got you know presented a case to where Bryce
was found innocent well then later they would be able to go wait a second there was a problem with the trial right
we could charge this dude with something else or charge him with the same charges
and try him again because of the the issue with the trial listen to this not only does he spit on this guy when he
says hey I'm gonna have to back out but he says to the attorney you're a coward and I will see you when I get out
yeah now the attorney could sounds like Kentucky law file assault charges against Bryce
Rhodes but he being the bigger man being the bigger person decided that he did not want to do that but I think offense
I think the bigger person should file charges because just keep stacking charges against this pile of [ __ ]
because you never want to see this guy see the light of day then in August 31st of the same year Bryce Rhodes attacked
the fellow inmate threatening to kill him and the words that were heard by all was Bryce wrote saying kill him like he
did the others then in September of the same year Rhodes spit on another inmate so he's
not even making friends inside the uh the jail there and then you pointed out of course he was supposed to wear or
made to wear the spit mask and was brought into court at one of the proceedings in a restraint chair yeah
now it doesn't he have a another charge against him for threatening a judge yes okay so he threatened a a judge and this
is I have his exact words here he says to the judge what you don't think that we can't find out where you live at I
don't give a bleep you got family I'll be out so threatening the judge and threatening
the judge's family yeah and I just have to bring it up because his his beard drives me insane it's almost
like he shaved off all his pubic hair and glued it to his face I mean it's one of the I mean the guy can't even grow a
beard correctly I mean he's he's pathetic and the the judge he was threatening was a female
judge and if you get a chance to watch that clip it's pretty hilarious because she just basically steamrolls
him and goes get out of my Court gives him the what four and straightens them out real quick no she just he started
talking and threatening and she's like okay you're done here we're not going to give you any more of any more time to
just sit there and and and talk nonsense and and what sucks about this whole case
is because this guy is so arrogant this guy is so ignorant that it's five years I mean you have a
right to a speedy trial well what about the victims families they have a right to a speedy trial as
well right and this son of a [ __ ] just keeps delaying then he's delaying then the inevitable and as much as he's going
to say well I'm going to get out I'm going to get out you just walked it's like you ain't going nowhere
and he's Ann I think he got beat up one time in prison so I hope he just surprised he hasn't got beat up more
because he's threatening other inmates spitting on other inmates I also have a situation here where Bryce Rhodes got in
trouble for throwing urine on a corrections officer and then in January of 2017 Bryce Rhodes tried to
escape from the county jail by digging his way out but the Corrections Officers noticed a fresh hole under some cinder
blocks in his cell he's also been going to well in his his fat ass is gonna have to dig a pretty
big hole well at some point too Captain he's also threatening the people that may testify
against him okay he was caught sending notes to Jacory Taylor in 2017 while they're both at Metro Corrections
and on there he's saying rats get exposed show me that you're my blank and you're
not a rat it will then so he he's threatening this guy yeah do the right thing buddy and don't rat me out and you
won't get hurt you won't get killed rats get exposed so what we're seeing here Captain is this dude is a problem even
Behind Bars he's a freaking problem Yeah Anna again I'll repeat a problem for the
victims families in March of 2019 there were more charges thrown at Bryce roads for terroristic threatening and wanting
endangerment this is because Bryce Rhodes told a corrections officer that he was going to shank him in the face
and that he and his family would die and it goes on and on and on and we again we
do have some clips that we can play so you can hear it for yourself but the if you want to really get this down to its
core and what the big problem has been is we got Bryce Rhodes who's trying to manipulate the system he's trying to
play the system and he's saying things like well we we need a change of venue and then he's firing attorney after
firing attorney spit on one of his own attorneys he's threatening judges during the court proceedings he's blowing
kisses at the victim's family in the courtroom he's doing everything he can to delay
the actual murder trial against him why well he's an [ __ ] number one but two I
believe it's largely in part because they are charging him they want to give this guy the death penalty
and in Kentucky they don't take too long to kill those who get sentenced to death
there was a they're just taking a long time they just can't get through the trial they can't get to the actual trial
because he keeps manipulating the system he's playing the system yeah well right
before this beer break let's let's take a listen to one of these clips from Bryce Rhodes acting out and in the
courtroom your job is to do your job not to worry about me that's what I'm saying well I
worry about me you worry about yourself that's Bryce Rhodes talking to judge Charles Cunningham Rhodes is accused of
shooting Christopher Jones then stabbing to death two witnesses fourteen-year-old
Larry Ordway and 16 year old Maurice Gordon Rhodes has already been through two attorneys and is now asking for his
third one to be removed I'll just ask you why do you keep refusing to get this man off my case when we keep having
problems you have something personal against me to where you don't want to move him no sir I have something
personal against not providing you effective assistance of counsel judge Cunningham says he has already called
the state public defender's office they have struggled to find someone who could represent you and that
basically Mr Griffis is what they've got Rhodes once had to wear a face mask because he spit on an attorney I'll
write the bar Associated ACLU you know I write them you know I see what's going on you know fair enough
let's get us a date to come back no I'm not gonna find out though we're gonna find out real quick
I promise that the exchange angered the grandmother of Ordway and Gordon who were brothers this is going on for four
years and and nothing's been done she later apologized the judges he he like he said he won't everything dotted he
wants to do it the right everything's done the right way regardless of what Mr Bryce Rose is saying in there but she
remains frustrated he's just playing the system he's playing them [Music] thank you
laughs [Music] and it's my right to speak what I need to speak on you know I don't know if I've got some type of
sexual relationship going on or what y'all got going on but I'm definitely going to speak my mind I have no sexual
relationship not talking about you in a prosecute over us sir are you some type of racist are you are
you I've got some type of sex relationship going on which one is it or are you just wrong
are you a secret Clan member no sir is that what you really are no okay but like I said the higher reports
they'll deal with it price roads may be one of the most annoying criminals that we've ever had murderers
that we've ever had on this show oh you guys have some kind of sexual relation huh like his little huh and his little
laugh after everything he says are you a secret Ku Klux Klan member because it's ridiculous well and people
out there in listener land if you get some time if you're pretending to work and the boss isn't looking look up some
pictures of the courtroom proceedings regarding Bryce Rhodes and just look at the look on the face of the man
and the other public defenders who have been forced to work with this guy over the years
the the look on their face is always like you're kidding me I got assigned to defend this guy right this is my life
this is this is the job that they gave me yeah they're well in the One Clip when he blows kisses to the victim's
mother or family member she calls out Court obviously says ma'am you can't do that well you see his attorney lean over
and say something to him and then he starts brushing his shoulder like whatever you gonna say to me it doesn't
matter to me again at some point we need to come up with some new laws if this guy is going to be such erratic
idiot you don't have the right to a lawyer as a what they should say he wants to fire all his lawyers okay
good luck with that and every time there's an outburst in court and every time that he's delaying it there should
be a charge another charge my issue with Kentucky going after the death penalty we obviously can tell from the
last five years that this idiot cannot even stand a regular trial and if you go after the death penalty
you're going to give this guy so many more opportunities to present his case in appeals and he's
going to waste so much of the systems time effort money I don't know if I would go after the
death penalty here because I wouldn't want to give this guy more opportunities to waste more money and more time
when we know if we get him on three murder charges he's spending the rest of his life in
jail I wouldn't be surprised in the next 10 years if we go that guy was beat to death in prison yeah I can certainly see
with what you're saying and agree with most of it I just don't want to find ourselves in a situation where we're
going okay the consequences are less severe because the guy's a jerk we we already know that the guy's a jerk
that's he's on trial for for multiple uh murders here and I'm sure anyone can understand this next piece that we have
here because giving in to the impulses and hearing about this POS Bryce Rhodes and his
courtroom Behavior at the pre-trial hearing Marie Wren now I do want to point out that in different articles the
boy's mother has a different name from time to time sometimes it's Elizabeth sometimes it's Marie I had to pick one
that's what I went with but the mother of the two murder victims she lost it she finally lost it she lunged at Bryce
Rhodes and she had to be forcibly dragged from the courtroom and she's yelling lock me
up lock me up why don't you let me at him he's sick and afterwards you know she once she had a chance to calm down
she told the news reporter she said I I flipped out I'm sorry I couldn't take it
anymore he's a demon this guy kills kids and she says you know you go to church and you try to pray and you try to
forgive but the anger builds up and then this guy's in there behaving like a jerk and
this guy doesn't deserve any forgiveness and on top of that what we've seen in five years is he can't handle himself at
the trial and and yes you're saying well the consequence would be a little less I
don't think so because I think being Beat to Death in jail would be way worse than being put to death by the state
that's why I would bet so much money on this because what is he doing he's spitting on guards he's throwing urine
on guards they're partly there to make sure you don't get out to harm Society that's part of the reason they're there
the other reason they're there is to protect you against the other in inmates so look if I'm a prison guard and you're
throwing urine at me and you're spitting at me and calling me names and stuff at
some point when are one of those guards going to look the other way one of those
guards are going to be told by another inmate hey we want to get to them and they're gonna let them get to him
to teach him a lesson well and I don't know the circumstances of of some of the information that I'm about to throw out
here but one thing that that I when I watch this guy when I get build up with anger I have to remind myself that the
most recent person executed by the state of Kentucky Marco Chapman was executed in November of 2008 for murders that he
committed in August of 2002. so six years in a couple months and they killed the guy I again I don't know the
circumstances or the everything that went on with his court proceedings and things like that but it didn't take very
long some of these states it's 20 25 30 years meanwhile while this dude is acting up
and being a jerk in the courtroom what about the other three arrested with Bryce Rhodes and charged with Bryce
Rhodes the co-conspirators right well they all ended up pleading guilty and took some deals and will go through that
a little bit here so first we had anwan Carter who entered a guilty plea in November of 2016.
for the murders of Larry Maurice and Christopher Jones and remember he's underage at the time
Captain so he was going to serve time in a juvenile facility until he turned 18 and then he would be the case would be
re-evaluated and what they ended up doing with him we got an update on him just a few days ago after he turned 18
his defense comes out and says all right well he served his time as an inmate at
the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice facilities we want to get probation form well the judge wasn't
having any of that and so now he's been moved to an adult facility to serve out the rest of his time
a Tyron Coleman pled guilty to charges of facilitation of murder for the deaths of Maurice and Larry as well as
tampering with evidence in two counts of abuse of a corpse It is believed that this latter charge relates to him
Coleman helping move the two boys bodies to the backyard in that neighborhood where they were found
right into into the abandoned lot yeah yeah so he pled guilty he was not required to testify against any of the
other co-defendants as part of his plea agreement but he is getting 10 years in prison and then 15 years of supervised
probation afterward to Corey Taylor he also pled guilty this to three counts of facilitation of murder and tampering
with evidence he accepted the prosecution's offer for either 10 years in prison or 20 years of probation with
the decision to be left up to the sentencing judge this will be judge Cunningham
at the sentencing hearing in March of 2018 Taylor's defense attorney tried to argue for leniency for jakori because he
was only 17 at the time and pointing out that Bryce Rhodes knew that you know this kid's 17 he doesn't
have a father and then Bryce Rhodes preyed upon other teenagers and jacori's vulnerabilities specifically now whether
or not this is true this didn't sway the judge in any way because he ended up giving to Corey Taylor 10 years behind
bars but like we said before or like you said um because I kind of misspoke the deals probably would have been
different if they didn't have to come get you if any of these individuals would have came forward before the cops
were rounding them up maybe there had been the outcome would have been a little different for one of
the miners yeah and I think that's the the Court's decision reflects that right the Court's decision is we are what's
been recommended to us to your your consequence your penalty your punishment what's been recommended to us that's
what we're doing because you didn't come forward right you didn't you weren't the
break in the case we had to come and get you we had to investigate we had to find
out who did this and it was only when you once you were backed into a corner that you decided to talk and tell us
some of the information that we needed to know and mind you only one of them was the first one to do so it's not like
they all started singing at the same time right it was one of them and then they're like okay well we got this
information now the others start to open up and then plead guilty Marie Wren said
that Jacory Taylor had lived with her and her family for a while and so she thinks that he was probably
instrumental in the ruse of picking these boys up and getting them to go out and hang out with
Bryce Rhodes a man who by that time they were frightened of they were afraid of you also hear in one of the clips of
Bryce Rhodes being interrogated saying that he he dated the boy's mother at one point I don't I don't know if there's
actually any evidence to back up that claim yeah I don't know the only claim of that or any
piece that I've seen of that is him stating that in that one clip he doesn't strike me as the most
truthful guy in the world so I'm I'm choosing not to believe Mr Bryce Rhodes there but you have a 14 and a 16 year
old let's go back to that one know where your kids are know who they're hanging out with
and these pictures whether or not those guns are real or fake by taking those pictures and
with your kids you're basically given a stamp of approval that this is okay and that
leads these young kids to hang out with this monster and look maybe I'm maybe I'm crazy but
25 year olds never coming to pick up my 14 year old 25 year olds never coming to
pick up my 16 year old if I if if it's not a family member I don't want I wouldn't want my
teenagers around that they don't need to be hanging out with somebody of that that age unless it was some kind of
Mentor or some kind of coach or some kind of positive influence in their life but not just some random well not only
that Bryce Rhodes is a bad guy and it's not a situation where all of a sudden the world got clued in that Bryce Rhodes
was a bad guy once he was arrested no this guy was a bad guy for a long period of time and everybody around him knew he
was a bad guy and Mom knew that her boys were hanging out with this grown man who
is a terrible human being so and if if people want to email and call me names and say that I'm a victim
blaming that's fine you can call it whatever you want to call it I see a situation where these kids were not
getting the they were not being raised properly and they were not getting a support system that they that they
should have got it regardless of if these guns are real or not like you said captain and like I'm about to say now it
just it's it's not it's no good right it's it's it's a bad situation but on top of that your teenage kids 14 year
old that's that's the main thing your 14 year old doesn't come home on Saturday and then you're you're told about what
happened to him on Tuesday where's the call to police where's it called the police say where where are my kids at
yeah and this and this is who they left with and I know they got that information on Tuesday but they could
have got that information Sunday morning or Saturday night again 14 year old 16 year old doesn't come home
Saturday night I'm putting a call in but again I make no bones about this hard raising
kids especially if you're a single parent and the blame doesn't just go there the blame has to go on to these these
two kids fathers that obviously weren't in the picture enough to be protecting and helping to raise these
young men well yeah and I I want to be clear here I'm not blaming I'm not blaming the outcome on Marie or these
negligent fathers these not you know the no no no no the the the blame is price roads and these these jerks that that
helped him do what they were doing and it's it it's a it's an all-around bad situation and I also want to be clear on
something too if you think that we're piling it on on Marie or Elizabeth whatever name it is that we should be
calling her I apologize but if you go on to other websites and and other social media Outlets this is very tame compared
to what people have come at her with and they've come at her hard with with shots
fired and really I I sit here and when we went into this case Captain I went into this case and I was very angry and
upset with her as well and in the beginning and now as I sit in this chair and we report on this case to you I sit
here today wanting to seek out this woman and hug her and and apologize to her for for what has happened to her
children and I just I want to embrace her and I know that this is ruined her life regardless of if I agree with what
was going on before or not she didn't deserve any of this her family didn't deserve any of this and I
hope that they they they bring the hammer when they come after Bryce Rhodes and give him the the worst possible
punishment that they they possibly can and I know I'm going to use some of her own words here you know she told one of
the judges at one of these plea deals with one of these co-conspirators she says look it's not fair I'm losing two
children at the same time 10 years is not enough for this guy whether he talked or not you know and she says the
justice system needs to be changed not just for my kids but for everyone and she has been out there and and
saying you know I believe that all of them should be getting life without the possibility of parole these are these
are persons that were involved in and not just involved I I think that that that really is dumbing it down they
actively helped to kill three people I agree but I think part of our show is to highlight a case and some missteps and
if you're a parent and you're 14 and 16 year old doesn't show up when they went out on a Saturday night
called police immediately tell police immediately who they went with if your kids are pretending to be gangsters or
pretending to be a part of negative things in society don't put your stamp of approval on it
tell them that that is wrong if your kids are hanging out with people 10 years older than they are maybe put it
into that unless it's like I said a coach or a mentor or somebody that that you believe is a positive influence if
you think this guy's a pile of [ __ ] don't let your kids go hang out with them and that's all I'm saying is is I
think it's okay to point out some missteps here there's really nothing more not a lot more that can be said
about Bryce Rhodes and the blight that he has put on society in the courts so I'll let the boy's grandmother speak for
me during a hearing the grandmother had an outburst at the courtroom as Bryce Rhodes was being led away after yet
another one of his delays and she says this is going on four years she shouted at the judge I'm their grandmother and
this is going on for four years the judge this is Judge Cunningham took the time to talk to the grandmother and
explain that he is being especially careful to follow protocols and protect Bryce Rhodes rights
so the case can withstand being thrown out on appeal it is after all a death penalty case the grandmother apologized
after the meeting with the judge the prosecutor and the victim's advocate saying the judge like he said he wants
everything dotted he wants everything done the right way regardless of what Mr Bryce Rhodes is saying in there but
their grandmother voice continued frustration at the process and what she sees as rewarding roads schemes to delay
and cause problems and said quote my grandchildren didn't have a chance everything he's saying in there thinking
he's so smart this has got to stop he's just playing the system he's just playing them

Brice Rhodes /// Part 2 /// 494

Part 2 of 2 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

Brice Rhodes has been a major thorn in the side of the Kentucky Courts for the last five years. He is accused of three homicides. All three cases were quickly and easily linked to Brice as the perpetrator with a mountain of evidence against him in all three cases. But he is yet to be convicted. This week we review the crimes and the investigation that made the arrest and try to understand why this loser is not currently scheduled for his date with a lethal injection.
