Hoosiers in South Bend for football playoffs, Indiana prisoner executed, year in review | Indiana Newsdesk

Coming up on  Indiana Newsdesk:

Indiana University’s storybook season under Head Coach Curt Cignetti continues at Notre Dame in the first round of the College Football Playoffs. Ahead, we’ll go to South Bend to check in with our reporter on the scene.

Joseph Corcoran this week became the first prisoner executed by the state of Indiana in 15 years despite suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. The state is already seeking an execution date for another death row prisoner.

And we look back at some of the top stories we brought you over the past year.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, Friday at 6 on  Indiana Newsdesk.
