## Key points

- Indiana carried out the first of three executions scheduled for one day.
- Weisheit was convicted over a 2010 fire that killed two children.
- Florida and Alabama also planned executions amid renewed scrutiny.

## Summary

Indiana executed Jeffrey Weisheit early on Thursday, the first of three people scheduled to be put to death in the US that day. The executions come amid renewed scrutiny of capital punishment after a failed execution in Tennessee, while courts have rejected attempts to halt other scheduled deaths.

Weisheit, 50, was convicted of setting a 2010 house fire that killed his girlfriend’s children, aged eight and five; he was pronounced dead at 12.45am at Indiana State Prison. Florida also planned to execute Jesse Guardado, convicted of killing a woman in 2004, and Alabama planned to execute Michael Taylor, who was 19 when he killed an older couple during a robbery. Florida’s execution would bring its total for the year to 19, matching its 2025 record; the article says it has carried out more than half of the 32 US executions so far this year.
