A convicted killer in Indiana became the first of three inmates to face lethal injection in a single day across the U.S., marking the state’s resumption of executions after a prolonged pause. Authorities confirmed the man’s death early Thursday following his admission of setting a fire that resulted in the deaths of two children. The execution was part of a rare cluster of three scheduled capital punishments within hours, raising questions about the legal and ethical implications of such a concentrated series. The case follows years of legal battles and public debate over the death penalty’s application in fire-related crimes.
