death penalty

The Indiana Capital Chronicle had requested information from state officials about the drug expected to be used in at least one upcoming scheduled execution.

The Indiana Supreme Court set a Dec. 18 execution date for a Joseph Corcoran, who was convicted in a 1997 quadruple homicide.

“Of course I would,” Trump says, responding to a question about whether or not he would immediately lift Attorney General Merrick Garland's moratorium on federal executions if he's reelected in the fall.

A motion filed with the Indiana Supreme Court on Thursday seeks to stymie the state’s recent request for an execution date.

The proposed execution of Joseph Corcoran, convicted in four murders in 1998, would be the first state execution in Indiana in 15 years. The state plans to use a controversial drug to carry it out.

In a letter sent to two Connecticut lawmakers last month and later obtained by WFIU/WTIU News, chemical supplier Absolute Standards, Inc. says it's done making pentobarbital for the U.S. government.

Indiana hasn’t carried out an execution in more than a decade. But the state is home to federal death row, inside a special facility in Terre Haute where the U.S. carries out all federal executions.

Indiana’s death penalty law exists in name only. What would Indiana’s GOP candidates for governor do differently?

Capital punishment may not be dominating the 2024 presidential race, but it could quickly seize the political spotlight after November.

The U.S. Bureau of Prisons is reporting that a federal prisoner died in custody after a "perceived altercation" with another incarcerated individual. It was the Terre Haute facility's second deadly incident in as many months.
