Indiana could execute nearly as many prisoners during Gov. Mitch Daniels' first year in office as it has during the past decade, giving the new governor and his general counsel plenty to ponder in the weeks and months ahead. Eight of the 34 inmates on Indiana's death row could be executed this year, possibly beginning March 10 with Donald Ray Wallace Jr. of Evansville, Daniels general counsel Steve Schultz and other legal sources told The Evansville Courier & Press. Until recently, Daniels had made few public comments about the death penalty, but in a recent interview with Statehouse reporters, he acknowledged mixed feelings about the issue. Schultz declined to say whether any of the pending cases of Indiana death-row inmates fall into the category of "most heinous." One of the governor's concerns, he said, had to do with issues of guilt or innocence of the condemned prisoner. Schultz said their goal is to establish "a procedure designed to ensure that there are no lingering questions of guilt." Earl Coleman, an attorney for the Indiana Parole Board, said the governor's office, public defenders and others involved in death-penalty appeals have been discussing the potential for a significant number of death-row inmates to seek clemency soon. The Indiana Supreme Court issued the execution order for Wallace last month. The Courier & Press reported yesterday that the court is expected to issue an execution order for a second prisoner early this week. Wallace was convicted in 1982 of the shooting deaths of Patrick and Theresa Gilligan and their children, 5-year-old Lisa and 4-year-old Gregory, at their home. Wallace exhausted his appeals late last year. Seven other inmates sentenced to death are now at or very near the final stages of their legal appeals. Unless the courts rule in their favor, execution orders are expected, said Paula Sites of the Indiana Public Defender's Council. Indiana has executed nine prisoners in the past decade, including two last year. |
