Judge Denies Resentencing for Carr Brothers in Wichita Massacre Case

A Kansas judge has rejected a resentencing request for Jonathan and Reginald Carr, convicted in a 2000 quadruple homicide, citing lack of jurisdiction.

  • Jonathan and Reginald Carr, sentenced to death for the 2000 'Wichita massacre,' were denied a new sentencing hearing.
  • The brothers' attorneys argued for resentencing based on claims of ineffective trial counsel and procedural errors during their initial trial.
  • No executions have occurred in Kansas since 1965, despite the brothers' death sentences.
  • Legal efforts continue as the defense plans to appeal the latest court decision.
  • The case has seen multiple appeals, including a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2016 to uphold the death sentences after a previous reversal.
