Attorneys for two brothers who were sentenced to die in a quadruple killing known as the “Wichita massacre” will argue for a formal resentencing hearing in the latest in a long series of appeals. How the sentencing was handled has long been a point of contention because brothers Jonathan and Reginald Carr had a joint hearing when jurors considered their punishments. Prosecutors plan to oppose the latest effort Monday.
