US EditionAttorneys Ask Indiana Supreme Court to Block Impending Execution of Quadruple Murderer Joseph Corcoran
INDIANA, UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – Roy Lee Ward is tentatively scheduled for execution on Oct. 10 after more than 20 years on death row for the 2001 murder of Stacy Payne, the Indiana Supreme Court said.
- On July 7, 2025, the Indiana Supreme Court provisionally scheduled Roy Lee Ward’s execution for October 10, 2025, pending final approval.
- Attorney General Todd Rokita formally requested that a date be established for Ward’s execution in 2025, as Ward’s legal team continues to contest the state’s lethal injection method.
- In 2007, Ward received a death sentence for the assault and killing of Stacy Payne, a 15-year-old girl, at her home in Dale, Indiana, in 2001.
- Governor Mike Braun acknowledged that the state has depleted its stock of the lethal injection drug pentobarbital, having invested close to $1.2 million to purchase four doses, and he instructed officials to begin preparations for Ward's execution.
- Scheduling the execution date activates various duties for both state and federal agencies, which may include potential legal challenges and requests for sentence commutation, all amid ongoing public discussions about the death penalty.
