Indiana Supreme Court schedules execution of mentally ill murderer Joseph E. Corcoran on December 18.
The Indiana Supreme Court has scheduled the execution of Joseph E. Corcoran for December 18, the state's first since 2009. Convicted in 1997 for murdering four people, Corcoran's appeals were exhausted in 2016. His defense argues against the execution due to his mental illness, specifically paranoid schizophrenia. Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb reinstated executions after acquiring pentobarbital, the drug used for lethal injections.
