the assassination of Senator Rodman and Sanderson

Just to help edit your work, if Rodman and Sanderson are both Senators, you should write "the assassination of Senators Rodman and Sanderson"

Anyway, I like it!

Yeah, that's awkward useage. Only Rodman is a senator, Sanderson is the Va. Commonwealth's Attorney, but I didn't want to type all that.

In context, the reader and the waiting STU members all know who they are, so I should just say "Rodman and Sanderson" and leave out the titles.
