Wichita ? Jurors found brothers Reginald and Jonathan Carr guilty Monday of four counts of capital murder for the execution-style killing of four people two years ago in a soccer field.

The Carrs were convicted for the Dec. 15, 2000, deaths of: Aaron Sander, 29; Brad Heyka, 27; Jason Befort, 26; and Heather Muller, 25. Befort’s girlfriend, then a 25-year-old teacher, survived being shot in the head.

The Carrs also were convicted of first-degree murder for the Dec. 11, 2000, shooting of Wichita symphony cellist Ann Walenta.

“Justice has been served and it is long awaited,” Assistant Dist. Atty. Kim Parker said.

Reginald Carr, 24, and Jonathan Carr, 22, were with their attorneys as the verdicts were read. Reginald Carr was in shackles, as he has been throughout much of the trial after reportedly threatening deputies.

Defense attorneys declined comment, saying the trial was not over.

The same jury will now be asked if the brothers should be sentenced to death or life in prison. The penalty phase begins this morning.

Outside the courtroom, family members hugged one another as well as prosecutors and a crime scene investigator who worked the case. Parker was crying as she hugged the tearful survivor of the quadruple killings and other family members of the victims. Family members declined to comment.

Reginald Carr also was convicted in the Dec. 7, 2000, robbery in which Andrew Schreiber was abducted and forced to withdraw cash from ATMs before his abductors left him unharmed. However, Jonathan Carr was found innocent in the crimes against Schreiber.

While ballistics showed the same gun was used in the three crimes, investigators found Schreiber’s stolen watch in the apartment where Reginald Carr was arrested and had difficulty connecting Jonathan to that crime.

The brothers did not show any emotion when the verdicts were read, although Reginald Carr shook his head as he was convicted of criminal sodomy. As they were led away from the courtroom, Reginald Carr stared at family members of the victims while Jonathan Carr avoided making eye contact with them.

Kim Voss, sister of murder victim Jason Befort, listens as the verdicts are read in the murder trial of Jonathan and Reginald Carr. Jurors found the brothers guilty Monday of four counts of capital murder.

Jurors deliberated nearly 14 hours before returning their verdicts.

Each brother faced the same 47 counts for the nine-day crime spree, with Reginald Carr facing an additional three counts for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Reginald Carr was convicted of all 50 charges; his brother was convicted of 43 counts.

The most notorious of the crimes involves the events of Dec. 14-15, 2000, when two armed intruders entered a Wichita home. The two women and three men inside were forced to engage in sexual acts with each other and to withdraw money from ATMs. The women were repeatedly raped before the five friends were taken to the soccer field and shot.

The sole survivor survived being shot in the head and ran naked through the snow for a mile to seek help.

Dist. Atty. Nola Foulston said prosecutors were pleased with the verdicts calling it a “thinking person’s jury.”

She said the jury deliberated a long time, and she said their finding Jonathan Carr was innocent of the four counts in the Schreiber case showed they felt there was reasonable doubt as to whether he committed those crimes.

The next move is to see the punishment fits the crime, she said.

“Without equivocation, without hesitation, I’ve asked for the death penalty,” Foulston said.

In making their decision on each of the capital murder charges, jurors found aggravating factors that call for the death penalty. They include finding the victims were raped or sodomized, as well as finding the premeditated killing was connected to other killings.

Homicide detective Ken Landwehr of the Wichita Police Department said he could not thank the survivor enough for starting police in the right direction after the quadruple killings in the snow-covered soccer field.

“This should not happen in Wichita. That scene … was a war, rather than anything else. It belonged in Bosnia,” Landwehr said.

Prosecutors told jurors the two armed intruders separated the friends during their ordeal and they feared that if they attacked one intruder their friends would be harmed.

Lawyers for each of the brothers, meanwhile, sought to blame the other for the crimes in their closing statements. Jonathan Carr’s attorney said Jonathan was innocent of some of the crimes and Reginald was the leader in the quadruple murder. Reginald’s attorney contended that the most DNA evidence pointed to his brother.

A total of 97 witnesses testified, including five for Reginald Carr, during the nearly two-month trial. More than 850 pieces of evidence were admitted.
