Group wants 2 Supreme Court justices removed after Carr sentences overturned

 The five people killed in the December 2000 attacks.

It was a brutal crime that rocked the city of Wichita and has gone down as one of the worst crimes in state history.

Fourteen years ago, two brothers were accused of going on a crime spree of murder, assault, rape and robbery, killing five people in the brutal attacks. Two years later, Reginald and Jonathan Carr were tried, convicted and sentenced to death, but recently the Kansas Supreme Court overturned their death penalty sentences and some convictions.

Now there is a movement to have two Supreme Court justices removed from the bench following their decision on the case.

"Took our breathe away. We were all completely shocked and devastated again that it felt like we were going back to that day," Amy James said.

That day for James dates back to December 2000 and is considered one of the worst in the history of Kansas as the Carr brothers wrapped up the brutal crime spree.

  1. I can only imagine what shock people will feel when they see the photographs or hear the news that something really bad has happened to those Judges or their loved ones. I suspect that there are vigilantes out there who might bring that about. I understand how upsetting Judges, legislating from their bench or placing their personal ideology above the law or common sense application of the law, can be.

    My God, what have we become? Justice should be harsh, esp. for those who
    denied it to others.

    1. Should be just like it was/maybe still is in Vietnam. If you are convicted of a capital crime, you are given one appeal which is held in exactly one week from the day, if you lose the appeal, you are executed in exactly one more week. You are given a bowl of Pho, a cigarette, then pencil and paper to use for your last thoughts. Afterwards, you are blindfolded, shot and your family pays for the rounds expended. There is little violent crime in Vietnam.
