STATEMENT: Gov. Mike Braun issues statement on execution of Roy Lee Ward
"Roy Lee Ward's case has been heard and reviewed numerous times by both state and federal courts, including the Indiana Supreme Court, since his conviction in 2002. These reviews have never resulted in an overturned sentence. The State Parole Board issued a unanimous recommendation to deny Ward's final appeal for clemency and that his execution proceed as scheduled. Today, Ward's sentence has been carried out as ordered by the court." - Governor Mike Braun
