Indiana is set to carry out its first execution in 15 years as Joseph Corcoran, a death row inmate convicted 25 years ago of killing his brother and three other men, faces his scheduled execution on Wednesday. Corcoran, 49, has been on death row since 1999 and is slated to be executed at the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City.
Corcoran's conviction stems from a tragic incident in 1997 when he fatally shot his brother and three other men following a period of stress related to his family dynamics. While in jail, Corcoran reportedly made statements about shooting his parents in 1992 but was acquitted of those charges.
