    Surprise Testimony Stuns Court

    The survivor of a multiple homicide reveals that after the attacks, she wasfound to have the same venereal disease as Reginald Carr, the man accusedof assaulting her.

    By Ron Sylvester

    White slut, and race traitor Stephanie Donley talks about how she observedthat her mass murdering black boyfriend had VD. Reginald Carr was arrestedin her apartment.

    The day Reginald Carr decided not to attend his capital murder trial, surprise evidence

    may have more solidly connected him to a home invasion that led to the killing of four

    people.

    Both prosecutors and defense lawyers were

    surprised Thursday to learn that the lone

    survivor of the quadruple homicide, who had

    also been raped, was later diagnosed with

    the same type of sexually-transmitted

    disease that police, a nurse and his formergirlfriendsay Reginald Carr also had.

    That revelation marked the strangest day in

    court so far in the capital murder trial of

    brothers Jonathan and Reginald Carr.

    Reginald Carrs lawyer, Jay Greeno, was

    questioning a detective and a nurse about

    the presence of a venereal disease on hisclient when they took blood, hair and saliva

    samples the evening following the quadruple homicide.

    During a break, District Attorney Nola Foulston learned that the surviving witness had

    been treated months later for the same condition. When Foulston presented the

    evidence, outside the view of television cameras broadcasting the trial, Greeno was so

    surprised he didnt object.

    The survivor had not been able to identify Reginald Carr during a preliminary hearing

    before pointing to him at trial, leaving a small hole that the defense could possibly callinto question. Lawyers said in opening remarks that DNA evidence at the home where

    five people were abducted and assaulted would be stronger against Jonathan Carr than

    against Reginald Carr.

    But the new information appears to provide a stronger link to Reginald Carr and the

    likelihood of his presence in a triplex at 12727 E. Birchwood Drive, where the woman

    and her friends were attacked before being shot.

    Later, Greeno argued that the states surprise was unfair and asked for a mistrial. ButJudge Paul Clark overruled the objection, made outside the jurys presence.

    The District Attorney didnt know it, nobody in law enforcement knew it, until this

    morning, Clark ruled.

    Stephanie Donley, who testified Thursday, said she met Reggie Carr at a nightclub in

    Dodge City in October 2000. She said she recognized the presence of the STD when

    they began seeing each other several weeks later.

    Carr would stay at her apartment at 5400 E. 21st St. when she wasnt working the night

    shift as a nurse at a Wichita hospital. She said neither he nor his younger brother,

    Jonathan, had jobs.

    But in early December, Donley noticed Reginald Carr carrying wads of more than $800

    in cash. He said he won it fighting his pit bull.

    Then Reginald Carr and his brother borrowed her Toyota Camry about 5:30 p.m. on

    Dec. 14. He didnt come back for 12 hours, and Donley said she was angry.

    When they returned, Reginald Carr began moving in lots of stuff: shirts, electronics and

    a big-screen television. Donley said he told her it all belonged to him, that he had been

    keeping it at his sisters house on North Poplar Avenue and she had ordered him to

    move.

    Of Reginald Carr, the judge added: If he comes to court, he is going to act like a

    gentleman.
