News - Breaking News Thursday, Mar. 04, 2010 Stocking Strangler Carlton Gary case: Defense asks for hearing on whether Gary agrees to DNA testing BY ALAN RIQUELMY - ariquelmy@ledger-enquirer.com A hearing has been scheduled to determine whether convicted Stocking Strangler Carlton has agreed to have his DNA tested and to discover his position on how a judge should proceed, court records state. A motion filed Wednesday in Muscogee County Superior Court requests the hearing before Muscogee County Superior Court Judge Frank Jordan Jr. — a request the judge granted that day. Jordan, who was assigned the case after Judge Robert Johnston III announced his resignation, has ordered Gary present at an 11 a.m. March 23 hearing, documents state. Gary, scheduled for execution Dec. 16, received a stay from the Georgia Supreme Court four hours before he was scheduled to be executed. The high court ordered a Muscogee County court to hold a hearing on defense attorneys’ request for DNA testing, saying the local court made an error in not granting it. Both prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed in February to have the Georgia Bureau of Investigation test four semen samples taken from three of the victims. Attorney Gary Parker, formerly of Columbus, visited Gary at the state’s death-row prison in Jackson, where the consent order was signed. Parker has said Gary signed the agreement to have his DNA tested. That deal stopped a hearing on DNA testing from happening. However, Gary’s wife later held a press conference in which she said her husband didn’t sign the paper. She also said Gary’s attorneys, Jack Martin and Michael McIntyre, aren’t representing him according to his wishes. “... It appears to counsel for the defendant that the defendant may no longer agree to the provisions of the consent order and may, instead, want to proceed with the hearing on his motion for DNA testing, as ordered by the Georgia Supreme Court,” Martin’s motion states. “Undersigned counsel has endeavored to clarify the defendant’s position regarding his consent, but, as of this date, counsel has been unable to determine precisely the defendant’s position.” Martin said Thursday that Gary’s defense team asked the judge to have a hearing to determine whether Gary signed the consent order, “and whatever else the judge wants to hear about,” he said. Martin added that he has no question in his mind about who signed the consent order. “I’m not going to go into any more comments about the case,” Martin said. Gary was convicted of murder in three of the seven “Stocking Stranglings” of 1977 and ’78. DNA evidence was not used in U.S. courts when he was tried in 1986. www.ledger-enquirer.com/2010/03/04/1039187/stocking-strangler-carlton-gary.html

You guessed it. Charity Gary’s mother met Carlton Gary five years after he was put on death row on three counts of murder, rape and burglary. But the first time Charity met him as a six-year-old, she says she jumped right up on his lap. Five years later, her mother Debra married Carlton.
Charity says that throughout the years, he has become a real father to her.
Carlton Gary is also known as the Columbus Stocking Strangler. He was sentenced to death in 1986, before DNA testing was available. With his scheduled execution looming Wednesday at 7 p.m., his defense has filed last minute appeals.
But like her mother, Charity has faith he will be free one day.
“We will stand on his promises and his word, and he’s blessed us in so many ways,“ Debra Gary said.
