Ah I'm afraid not. If a Co. did a stock split on a 2 for 1 basis that didn't involve the raising of cash then yes the stock price would be cut in half.
If a Co. doubles it's stock outstanding by issuing shares for cash then the price should remain the same.
Think about it for minute.
The stock price didn't fall because they doubled the shares outstanding the price fell because they priced the new shares at a fraction of the then share price. 
If you had a stock trading at $ 50 and did an issue at $ 49.00 the stock might trade down to $ 49.50 or $ 49.25 maybe , and you see this happen all the time. 
What you don't see happen is a Co. trading at $ 50 that does a stock issue at $ 10. and that's pretty much what happened here. The Co. in effect admitted that it was in deep distress and could only raise cash at a very deep discount to it's then market price and investors reacted accordingly and pounded the stock into oblivion.

the #of shares has doubled as a result of the rights offering.   so logically, the share price should be cut in half.

if that's too complicated  for you maybe you should just stick with mutual funds where someone is paid to look at those things for you.
