Fox News: Indiana carries out first execution in 15 years after inmate chooses Ben & Jerry's ice cream as last meal

Despite pleas for intervention from the U.S. Supreme Court and calls for clemency from various advocacy groups, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb upheld the execution, stating that Corcoran's case had been thoroughly reviewed. Protests against the death penalty occurred outside the prison, with activists arguing against the morality and efficacy of such actions.
