Joseph Corcoran, 49, was executed in Indiana, marking the state's first execution in 15 years. Corcoran had been on death row since his 1999 conviction for fatally shooting his brother, his sister's fiancé, and two other men in 1997.
Despite appeals citing severe mental illness, Corcoran was executed by lethal injection at Indiana State Prison. His attorneys had argued that his mental illness impaired his decision-making abilities.
