Attorney General Todd Rokita issues statement on

Joseph Corcoran's execution

Attorney General Todd Rokita today issued the following statement:

"Early this morning, Indiana conducted its first execution since 2009. Joseph Corcoran's case worked its way through our judicial system and today he finally paid his debt to society as justice was provided to his victims.

"A jury recommended and a judge imposed a sentence of death for the senseless murders of four people. My office fought to defend that sentence and state law every step of the way, and the Indiana Department of Correction carried it out professionally."
