Episode Details

Indiana’s attorney general is demanding the state Supreme Court set a date for the execution of Jeffrey Weisheit, convicted in 2010 for brutally murdering two young children—a five-year-old boy and his eight-year-old sister—in a fire he set after hog-tieing the younger child with railroad flares. With all appeals exhausted—including federal and U.S. Supreme Court denials—the AG argues there’s no legal barrier left to delay justice. The case, now over a decade old, has already seen death penalty upheld at every level, and if the court grants the request, an execution could be scheduled within weeks. Indiana, which has carried out 16 executions since 2000—including three recently—faced a lethal injection drug shortage that halted executions for years, making this final push both symbolic and urgent.
