Sons Of Anarchy: Every SAMCRO Member's Death Ranked From Worst To Best
12. Frankie Diamonds
There were a lot of moving pieces involved in the death of Frankie Diamonds. He was the third of the Nomads Clay had commit the home invasions in Charming, and while Gogo and Greg were killed by Unser and Clay, Frankie was left as a loose end.
As the Sons tracked him down, he took Lyla and Nero hostage, demanding $500,000 and a car to escape in, before shooting Lyla in the leg and taking Chibs at gun point. This led to a unanimous Mayhem vote, but it was far from that simple.
The club wanted him dead for what he did, but needed him alive long enough to confess that Clay was pulling the strings on the attacks. Clay wanted him dead straight away so he couldn't confess such things, and Jax wanted him alive to trade to Eli for the name of the rat who fed the FBI information on the Real IRA deal.
Ultimately, after a brief stand-off between Jax and Clay, the latter got his way when Frankie was killed by Leo Pirelli, who was overtaken by a flash of rage after seeing that the former Nomad had killed one of his associates.
