LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – A Louisville jury reached a verdict in the 2016 triple murder case against Brice Rhodes less than five hours after they began deliberations Monday.

The jury found Rhodes guilty on all six charges against him — three counts of murder for the deaths of Christopher Jones, Maurice Gordon and Larry Ordway, one count of tampering with physical evidence, and two counts of abuse of a corpse for Gordon and Ordway.

He is facing a possible sentence of life in prison. The sentencing phase will begin Tuesday.


The verdict came down just before 9:30 p.m., several hours after the jury began deliberations in the case.

The prosecution rested their case Friday and the defense did not call any witnesses on Monday with Rhodes deciding not to testify.

So glad BR was found guilty. He's a complete menace and needs to be locked up for life.
