They plan to start with Joseph Corcoran, who is on death row for killing four people.
INDIANAPOLIS — Governor Holcomb and Attorney General Todd Rokita are seeking the resumption of executions in Indiana prisons.“After years of effort, the Indiana Department of Correction has acquired a drug -- pentobarbital – which can be used to carry out executions. Accordingly, I am fulfilling my duties as governor to follow the law and move forward appropriately in this matter,” Gov. Holcomb said.
Corcoran was found guilty of the 1997 murders of four people. He exhausted his appeals in 2016 and has been awaiting execution. “In Indiana, state law authorizes the death penalty as a means of providing justice for victims of society’s most heinous crimes and holding perpetrators accountable,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Further, it serves as an effective deterrent for certain potential offenders who might otherwise commit similar extreme crimes of violence.
