Indiana is preparing to execute Joseph Corcoran, convicted of the 1997 murders of four men, including his brother and sister's fiancé. Corcoran's attorneys argue that his paranoid schizophrenia makes him unfit for execution, citing auditory hallucinations and delusions.
The Indiana Supreme Court and a US District Court judge have rejected the defense's arguments, allowing the execution to proceed. This decision comes after the state obtained pentobarbital, enabling the resumption of capital punishment.
