McCray sentenced to life for murder at Langston's
By Kevin Bates
Kansan staff writer
Damon McCray was sentenced yesterday to life in prison for first-degree murder.
McCray was convicted in February after a week-long trial for the Aug. 15 shooting of Onzie Branch in the parking lot of the former Langston's nightclub, 806 W. 24th St. Branch was shot in the head.
McCray will not be eligible for parole until he serves 15 years of his life sentence. He has 10 days to file an appeal.
Douglas County District Attorney Christine Tonkovich called the shooting an act of revenge for an assault that she said occurred several years ago at a Topeka mall, where Branch had hit McCray with a five-pound weight.
Tonkovich said the state used two strong weapons to win McCray's conviction. She said that McCray had left a clear hand print on the hood of a van next to the car in which the victim was a passenger. The prosecution also relied heavily on the testimony of McCray's friend, Damon Hall, who drove McCray from the scene after the murder.
At the trial, Hall testified for two hours about the events of that morning and the previous night. Hall said that he, McCray and two other men had decided to go to the nightclub on the afternoon of Aug. 14. He said he saw McCray put a small black handgun in his waistband and pull his shirt over it.
The men arrived at Langston's about 11 p.m., but they were not admitted because they didn't meet the club's dress code. The men drank beer in the
parking lot and later saw some friends, who asked the men if they had marijuana. The men led and said they did not.
A few minutes later, Hall drove to another part of the parking lot and smoked a cigar with marjuana in it. He said McCray left the car and went to talk to the people in the other car.
Hall said he then heard arguing and four gunshots from the direction McCray had walked. About 30 seconds later, McCray came back and got into the car. Hall said he asked McCray who had fired the shots, to which McCray replied, "Who do you think?"
Hall then drove to the Kansas Turnpike and drove toward Kansas City, but he said he became sick, at which point McCray drove to Kansas City and back to Topeka.
Tonkovich said the gun used in the shooting still had not been found.
Pet peacock mauls its owner in Thailand
The Associated Press
BANGKOK, Thailand — A pet peacock mauled his master, killing him after a freak attack, hospital officials and relatives said yesterday.
Vichai Thongto, 30, was feeding his family's four caged peacocks in the western province of Ratchaburi on
Sunday when a male bird hurled itself at him, clawing his head.
Vichai soon began suffering headaches and fell into a coma by the time relatives got him to a hospital.
A nurse at Ratchaburi Hospital's neurological department said doctors found a tiny puncture wound above Vichal's left ear and that a
Doctors operated Sunday night, but Vichai died Monday, the nurse said.
CAT scan revealed a blood clot in his brain.
Vichal's father, Somchai, said the family would spare the killer bird's life, donating all four peacocks to a local zoo.

UNITE
Continued from Page 1A
In early March, the Unite and Delta Force coalitions officially kicked off their campaigns. Although Harrod attended Unite's kick-off party and has spoken at other campaign meetings, Sullivan said his involvement was minimal.
"He likes to help out and be there if we need him for anything," he said. "He advises no more than any other candidate."
Although Harrod referred to Sullivan as an incumbent, Grey Montgomery, student body president, said he and his administration made it a point at the beginning of his term not to get involved in choosing candidates for the next election.
Harrood said the key to winning a Senate election from an "incumbent" position, like Sullivan's, was knowledge. By incumbent, Harrood was referring to a process, practiced in past years, in which specific senators were persuaded by Student Senate administrators to head a coalition.
While he was a student, Harrod managed Sherman Reeves' successful bid for president in 1994 and used the previous years' campaign information. Harrod said that Reeves, while still a student, gave the information to Montgomery in last year's campaign. After that election, Montgomery gave the materials back to Reeves, who then returned them to Harrod.
To increase Sullivan's knowledge, Harrod gave him a box full of campaign posters, fliers, buttons, speeches, budgets and calendars from Senate campaigns since 1991.
Harrod said he had given the materials to Sullivan.
"Politics is about getting behind someone you believe in," Harrod said.
Montgomery said the information was very helpful in providing knowledge about how previous campaigns operated.
Mike Walden, Leawood junior and Unite Coalition vice presidential candidate, said Harrod had helped little with running the campaign.
"Scott (Sullivan) and I are running the show. He's not an adviser," Walden said. "It is a major, major, major distortion of the truth to claim otherwise."
"Politics is about getting behind someone you believe in."
Travla Harrod
Former KU student accused of advising the Unite Coalition
But a source close to the campaign, who is a current student senator, said Harrod played a key role in making campaign decisions.
"People can say he doesn't do too much, but for those of us who know how things are done, we know what his role is," said the source, who requested anonymity.
Chad Perlov, Englewood, Colo., senior and elections commissioner, said that no action would be taken on Harrod's involvement with Unite unless a complaint was filed and the issue was addressed at an elections commission hearing.
