Rhodes allegedly killed two teenage brothers because he feared they would tell police about his involvement in a separate murder.
“The Court cannot allow such a person to be subjected to the death penalty, regardless of public clamor," Judge Julie Kaelin ruled, arguing she should not be swayed by fear of criticism.
In the spring of 2016, Brice Rhodes was “callous and casual” when he shot and killed Christopher Jones, who he believed was another man that had a bounty out for his death, prosecutors said Tuesday.
