Indiana is preparing to resume executions after over 15 years.

Joseph Edward Corcoran is scheduled to be executed on Wednesday after being convicted of a 1997 quadruple murder.

If he’s executed, he will be the first person the state has executed since 2009.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has filed a motion to set the execution date for another death row inmate convicted of killing a police officer.
