Mother accused of shooting sons attends their funeral

JONESBORO - Led, flanked and followed by sheriff&#39;s deputies, Carol Carr sobbed softly as she walked into a chapel Thursday for the funeral of the two ailing sons she is charged with murdering. <br> <br> A day earlier, a judge granted 63-year-old Carr temporary release from jail to go to the funeral in Jonesboro, a suburb south of Atlanta. Carr is accused of shooting her sons in a nursing home in Griffin Saturday. Both men suffered from Huntington&#39;s Disease, a hereditary, degenerative disorder that slowly cripples the brain and body. <br> <br> Family members have said Carr, whose first husband also died from the disease, was just trying to end the suffering of the men, both of whom were bedridden and unable to communicate. <br> <br> The Reverend Arthur Smith, Carr&#39;s longtime pastor and neighbor, told her to have hope. <br> <br> Smith said, ``Carol, I just want to tell you out of my heart that I love you. And I probably know more about what you&#39;ve gone through than most people. I know you&#39;re a loving person. And I know you love your family.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Carr sat between her youngest son James Scott -- who is in the early stages of the disease -- and her second husband, Charles Carr, while a deputy sat nearby. <br> <br> When her father, James Wallace, was wheeled into the chapel, a deputy led Carr to him and she collapsed on his wheelchair, shaking and sobbing, for the remainder of ``Amazing Grace.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Forty-two-year-old Randy Michael Scott and 41-year-old Andy Byron Scott had been in and out of nursing homes for years. <br> <br> Police said Carr shot both of them in the head Saturday and then waited in the lobby to be arrested.
