Prosecutor Seeks Death Penalty in McVay Case



   SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Prosecutors will seek the death penalty
against a man accused of killing a Sioux Falls hospice nurse in her
home so he could steal her car and drive to Washington, D.C., to
kill President Barack Obama.
     Minnehaha County State's Attorney Aaron McGowan filed paperwork
on Monday notifying the court that he will seek the death penalty in the case
against 41-year-old James McVay.
     A grand jury indicted him on murder and burglary charges for the
July 2 murder of 75-year-old Maybelle Schein.
     Police allege that McVay stabbed Schein to death and then stole
her car as part of a scheme to drive to the nation's capital and
kill the president. He was arrested later the same day in
Wisconsin.
