Roy Lee Ward, an Indiana man convicted of the 2001 rape and murder of a teenage girl, was executed by lethal injection. This marks the state's third execution since resuming capital punishment last year. Ward's execution has raised questions about Indiana's use of the powerful sedative pentobarbital. His case had been in the courts for over two decades, with his conviction overturned once and his pleas for clemency rejected.
