Wichita Massacre Brothers Denied Resentencing Hearing

Two brothers convicted of the brutal ‘Wichita Massacre’ 24 years ago have been denied a new hearing. Jonathan Carr, 44, and Reginald Carr, 46, killed five people within days in December 2000, including a cellist and others in a home invasion. They were sentenced to death and remain on death row. Their attorneys argued for a new hearing due to concerns about racial bias and prosecutorial misconduct, but a judge denied their request. The Kansas Supreme Court upheld their convictions, and the US Supreme Court refused a formal resentencing hearing.
