(WBAP/KLIF) — A Texas inmate is facing execution for fatally stabbing two Houston area brothers during a robbery in their home more than 30 years ago. Rick Rhoades was condemned for the September 1991 killings of two brothers less than a day after he had been released on parole.
He is set to be executed by lethal injection tonight (Tuesday) at the state penitentiary in Huntsville. His attorneys have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stop his execution because they claim his constitutional right to due process is being violated. They are claiming that jurors at his trial may have been dismissed for racially discriminatory reasons. Rhoades was convicted of stabbing 33 year old Bradley Allen and 31 year old Charles Allen in their Houston home in 1991.
