to every single crime scene. you couldn t disregard that evidence. we used that during deliberations. when it came down to crucial charges of murder and rape, h.g. s testimony was the turning point. her testimony was a major part of my decision on that. i think all of us cried. you tried to hide the tears? oh, very much so. i think we all did. even so, it was a lot of work, a lot of charges and two defendants. we discussed everything completely before we took any kind of vote. we basically we knew how people were going to vote before we took the vote. oddly, the jurors say the main debate came over one of the lesser charges, whether jonathan carr was the second gunman in the car with andy schreiber, the gunman schreiber never saw. did any of you think jonathan was there? i did. you did? i still do. i think we all did, but there
was no evidence. that just drove me nuts. after 11 hours, they reached a decision. guilty of capital murder. guilty of the capital murder. guilty of the capital murder. guilty on all counts for reginald carr. his brother jonathan carr guilty of all but the carjacking of andy schreiber. reginald and jonathan were sitting there expressionless. they didn t show you know, they weren t upset by it. they weren t, you know, happy by it. reginald was sitting there putting chapstick on. that s how much it affected him. for more than six weeks, jurors said they had been hearing and seeing evidence that kept them awake at night. but the toughest task was yet to come, deciding if two men who killed so easily deserved the death penalty. coming up, a new picture of the carr brothers. polite, kind, warm, giving. will the jury spare their lives? when in cold blood continues.
suspect s girlfriend. inside police found a big screen tv and other items belonging to the soccer field victims. the suspect has been arrested at an apartment complex in northeast wichita. andy schreiber saw the arrest on television. i thought, oh, my god, that s the guy that kidnapped me. though the suspect gave police a phony name at first, he was later identified as reginald carr, 23, an ex-con from dodge city. within 12 hours of discovering the bodies in the soccer field, police had a second suspect in custody, 20-year-old jonathan carr, reginald s brother. he was turned in by a woman whose daughter had recently started dating him. jonathan happened to be sleeping on the woman s couch when the news of the murders broke. the suspects are two african-american men believed to be in their 20s. the carrs told police they were innocent. but while waiting for blood and hair samples to be taken,
wichita, kansas, december 2000. in the days immediately following what came to be known as the soccer field murders, investigators found connections between jonathan and reginald carr and the two earlier crimes in the same area, the carjacking of andy schreiber and the shooting of ann walenta. remember the watch andy had been wearing on the night he was abducted? it was found in reginald s girlfriend s apartment, and the bullets recovered at all three crime scenes matched. investigators believe both schreiber and walenta were targeted because they drove expensive cars. but the home invasion at the nearby condo didn t make any sense. that is, until a neighbor told police that she d been followed home on the night of the murders by someone who drove away when she stopped at her mailbox. i think they made a mistake, they picked the wrong house. all right i want to know about the search warrant. district attorney nola foulston charged the carrs not only with the murder of the four
the shots were i am not at him but a tire at his suv. he instructed no wait 20 minutes and then i could leave. did you feel a rush of relief? not until when i actually heard their car drive off at that point is when pure rage set in. there was little he could do other than drive home on the flat tire and call the police. andy schreiber never got a look at the second gunman but he told police everything he could remember about the driver, a stocky black male. schreiber s ordeal was over. but 230four days later, a few ms away, ann s ordeal was about to begin. december 11th, 2000, 9:30 p.m., temperature dropping, a night snow falling. 55-year-old ann, a chelist with the orchestra, had finished the last rehearsal before the
