INDIANAPOLIS — The future of the death penalty could soon be changing here in Indiana.“Executing Mr. Corcoran at this time violates the dignity of both the defendant and the judicial process,' President of the Indiana Abolition Coalition David Frank said. On Thursday, Frank and dozens of advocates delivered a letter to Governor Holcomb’s office explaining their point of view.“We share the belief that all human life is sacred,' Frank said.
We are going to execute someone who has clearly been, is mentally ill and we feel that’s wrong,' Advocate Bob Henry said. Capital punishment is legal in Indiana.A law was passed in 1995 designating lethal injection as a method of execution.Since then, 19 people have been executed.“There are people in this state who believe killing is wrong. We believe thou shalt not kill and this is killing,' Henry said. There are currently eight people on death row, including Corcoran.
