Reginald and Johnathan Carr were both sentenced to death for four murders in Wichita in December 200.

The jury in the Carr capital murder trial, which last week convicted the two men of the murders and a long list of other crimes agreed that both men should be executed for the capital murders.

The two will be sentenced by Judge Paul Clark tomorrow on the remaining charges.

...Lethal Injection...

That is way too merciful for these animals.

How long does it take for death sentences to be carried out in Kansas?

Hey good one. "Good move on the Judges part, sentence them to 250 years in prision in addition to Lethal Injection in case something happens.. "

Maybe on the remaining charges he could sentence them to be drawn and quartered after they are dead.

"December 200? Man, I bet they die in jail!

That's the idea. And sooner rather than later.

WICHITA, Kan. -- Jurors recommended the death penalty Thursday for two brothers convicted of shooting five people on a snow-covered soccer field.

It took jurors about seven hours to decide the sentence for Reginald Carr, who turned 25 Thursday, and his brother Jonathan, 22. They were convicted last week of capital murder for the December 2000 deaths of four of the victims, and of attempted murder for the shooting of the fifth.

In their closing arguments Wednesday, prosecutors urged jurors to show the brothers the same mercy the two men showed the five friends, ages 25 to 29, who were forced to engage in sex acts with each other before they were shot. The women also were raped.

"What murder would warrant the death penalty, if it is not this? It defies reason to think torturous slaughter of these four young people who gave no fight," said Deputy District Attorney Kim Parker.

Defense attorneys said just one juror can decide to show the brothers mercy and spare their lives. If they don't receive a death sentence, they will spend at least 50 years in prison.

"Any one of you can decide to save this young man's life," said Ron Evans, Jonathan Carr's attorney. "You can decide there is some good there. There is something worth saving."

Jay Greeno, the attorney for Reginald Carr, said his client was the product of an abusive household, and he urged jurors to think about the impact an execution would have on Carr's three young children.

The only survivor of the shootings, then a 25-year-old teacher, ran naked through the snow to get help after she and her friends were taken to the field, lined up on their knees and shot. She identified her attackers and testified against them at the trial.

The brothers also were convicted of first-degree murder in the shooting death of a woman four days before that attack.

During the trial, the brothers tried to blame each other for the killings. Jonathan Carr's attorney said his client was innocent of some of the crimes and that his brother was the leader in the quadruple murder. Reginald's attorney contended that most DNA evidence pointed to Jonathan.

A judge still has to approve the jury's recommendation. Kansas has not had an execution since the death penalty was reinstated in 1994, although judges have followed all four jury recommendations for death.

Man, I bet they die in jail!

Yeah, strapped to a bed in the high security facility in ElDorado, Kansas. That is where I think I heard they keep the needles here in Kansas.

[IronJack]

Ship 'em to Texas. Huntsville has this execution thing down to assembly line efficiency!

Anyone want to start a pool on how long it is before some NPR or Public TV sob sister airs her heartbreaking documentary on the poor, misunderstood Carr brothers?

All the more reason to make them compost -- before the hearts start a-bleedin' and the Free Mumia crowd oozes out of the shadows.

And the AP is oh-so-careful to not reveal the respective races of the perps and victims
