Death Penalty Sought in 12-Year-Old's Slaying

Sherrod Nicholas Harrison, 19, Michael Graham Currie, 18, Van Roger Smith Jr., 16, and Perry Ross Schiro, 19, all of Cameron, and Ryan Jermar White, 18, of Sanford, have been indicted on charges of murder and breaking and entering in the case.

Moore County prosecutors said they plan to pursue a capital case against Currie. They were expected to decide next month whether to pursue the death penalty against Harrison, White and Schiro.

Smith will be tried as an adult in the case, but he wouldn't face the possibility of a death sentence because of his age, authorities said.
