ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. -- The adoptive parents of Erica Parsons appeared in court Tuesday.
Reported last year:
- DA to seek death penalty against Sandy Parsons for the death of Erica Parsons
- DA to seek death penalty against adoptive mother of Erica Parsons
- Sandy, Casey Parsons to be charged with first degree murder in death of Erica Parsons
A judge schedule the trial for Casey Parsons for April 6, 2020. The state wanted it to be September 2019; however, the defense said they needed more time due to additional discovery and approving expert witnesses.
Right now, there is no trial date set for Sandy Parsons.
The pair is charged with murder in the death of their adopted daughter, Erica Parsons. Her body was found years after she was reported missing by her adoptive brother. They face the death penalty if convicted.
