Indiana carried out its first death sentence in 15 years as it executed convicted murderer Joseph Corcoran, 49, just after midnight on Dec. 18.

Corcoran was found guilty in 1999 of murdering his brother James Corcoran, 30; his sister’s fiance, Robert Scott Turner, 32; Douglas A. Stillwell, 30; and Timothy G. Bricker, 30, on July 26, 1997. He was 22 when he shot his victims dead after overhearing that he would no longer be allowed to live with his brother and sister once his sister got married. Several appeals were made to stop the execution citing Corcoran’s long-documented mental illness, but those efforts failed.

In a statement issued by the Indiana Department of Corrections, Corcoran was asked if he had any last words and he responded, “Not really. Let’s get this over with.”
