Indiana executes inmate Joseph Corcoran who requested ice cream for last meal

Joseph Corcoran was executed in Indiana early Wednesday, marking the state's first execution since 2009. He was convicted of murdering four people in 1997. Corcoran's final words were, “Not really. Let’s get this over with,” and he requested Ben & Jerry’s ice cream for his last meal. Corcoran's execution followed a handwritten affidavit where he acknowledged his guilt and expressed readiness to die. His sister, who previously condemned him, recently stated her views on the death penalty had changed, citing his mental illness and expressing forgiveness. During the execution, Corcoran appeared to blink but did not move after receiving the lethal injection. Six inmates remain on Indiana's death row, with the next execution planned for Benjamin Ritchie, who killed a police officer in 2000.
