## Summary

Jeffrey Weisheit was executed by lethal injection at Indiana State Prison for killing his girlfriend’s children, Alyssa and Caleb Lynch, in a house fire in 2010. The case drew renewed attention to the death penalty, including concerns raised by his lawyers about his history of head injuries and mental health, and objections to the drugs used in the execution.

Weisheit, 50, was pronounced dead at 12:45am local time on Thursday; his final meal was barbecue ribs and he made no final statement. Indiana’s governor rejected requests for brain scans and a reduced sentence, while state and federal courts upheld the conviction. Florida and Alabama were also scheduled to execute prisoners that day; Florida had carried out 18 executions earlier this year, approaching its record of 19 set in 2025.
