good riddance.
I believe his partener should have been executed right along with him. The committed the crime together therefore they should have been put to death together. I don't feel sorry for Rhode's by no means, because he did deserve what he gave, but in reality he shouldn't have died alone. I guess now since the drug used for Rhode's death has been taken off the shelves, these other sick prisoners are gonna escape death scott free! That's pithetic!
It will be the greatest travesty of justice if Daniel Lucas now somehow escapes execution.Brandon Rhode has paid his debt, a debt he rightfully incurred; he is now even with the house.
