RSS Feed Indiana is set to execute its first inmate of the year “before sunrise” on November 5th, and if this is anything like the last three, Jeffrey Weisheit will likely be dead by 1 am. Weisheit was sentenced to death for burning his girlfriend’s children to death nearly 13 years ago: 8-year-old Alyssa and 5-year-old Caleb Lynch. Weisheit has exhausted all of his legal appeals, and despite a written plea by the children’s father to spare his life, he will be the first of three scheduled executions across the country on Thursday; both Florida and Alabama each plan to execute an inmate at 6 pm local time.

Speaker 1: Hey there, folks.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, November 4th, and the state of Indiana has an execution planned for tomorrow. And they plan to get it done by sunrise. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Robes. They'll have this execution done tomorrow. before most people wake up. They will have it done before a lot of people even go to sleep.
00:00:25
Speaker 3: That is true.
00:00:27
Speaker 4: I have not seen this occur before, but apparently this is how they do it in Indiana. This is the first execution of the year for that state that has just recently reinstated executions, by the way. But yes, it has been written that Jeffrey Weisheit will be executed before sunrise and There are folks from the state who say he'll probably be dead before 1 a.m.
00:00:56
Speaker 2: And if there is any measure, Rose, if recent history tells us anything, the last three executions they pulled off in the state of Indiana, the person was pronounced dead by about 1245 a.m. So, Rose, they don't mess around there. Now, the reasons for this, it goes back, and we can get into that, but It goes back to history. It's kind of a throwback, some even say a relic, to earlier times when they moved executions. They didn't want them to be public executions this morning. They wanted them to be done in secret.
00:01:30
Speaker 1: So they would.
00:01:31
Speaker 2: Move these things to the cloak of darkness to have these things take place.
00:01:36
Speaker 1: It's stuck around. They still do it.
00:01:39
Speaker 2: Okay.
00:01:40
Speaker 4: Okay.
00:01:40
Speaker 2: But their last three, at least, they have done, and the person was declared dead by 1 a.m. Yes.
00:01:45
Speaker 3: So it happened efficiently and quietly. Now, it's interesting.
00:01:50
Speaker 4: Every state is different, and we don't see a lot of executions coming from Indiana. They resumed executing prisoners for the first time in 15 years today.
00:02:01
Speaker 3: Just a little over a year ago, December of 2024.
00:02:04
Speaker 4: So yes, in that period of time, they've executed three people successfully, quickly, three men. But they have some very specific rules there I was reading about. So Weishite will be able to invite up to five family members or friends, and the victim's family can invite up to eight family members, and even more upon request.
00:02:24
Speaker 3: So they keep things Very orderly. It's just interesting.
00:02:27
Speaker 4: We don't get a lot of those details coming out of many states, but Indiana has specific rules that they expect everyone to follow.
00:02:35
Speaker 1: You know what?
00:02:36
Speaker 2: Are people going to show up in the middle of the night? Are family members, right? This is midnight, one in the morning that you're doing this, will they?
00:02:45
Speaker 1: I don't know.
00:02:47
Speaker 4: I don't know.
00:02:48
Speaker 1: It seems odd to do. We've seen some states robes.
00:02:53
Speaker 2: That will do the execution or set it, excuse me, for 10 in the morning.
00:02:59
Speaker 1: I just want to have enough time. If something goes wrong.
00:03:01
Speaker 3: Correct.
00:03:02
Speaker 1: Get paperwork in order, if you will.
00:03:03
Speaker 4: Right. But this in this case in particular, yes, the death warrant basically begins right after or I guess at the stroke of midnight.
00:03:12
Speaker 3: But according to what I've read.
00:03:13
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
00:03:14
Speaker 4: He needs to be dead by 6 a.m. So they have a 6 a.m. or a 6-hour window. So they want him dead between midnight and 6 a.m., I guess, yes, under the cloak of darkness, as you pointed out.
00:03:27
Speaker 3: It's interesting. It's steeped in history.
00:03:29
Speaker 4: And it is what is happening in a matter of hours in the state of Indiana because we heard earlier this week from the governor that he absolutely was not going to be granting clemency in this case. And look, if you read anything about Jeffrey Weisheit and the murder and his crime, it is one of the more despicable crimes there is.
00:03:51
Speaker 3: He murdered two innocent children.
00:03:55
Speaker 4: I was looking at a local television station who was reporting on this and the comments are brutal.
00:04:02
Speaker 3: Kill him.
00:04:04
Speaker 4: People are almost cheering in the streets like mob mentality around this man and what he was convicted of doing.
00:04:13
Speaker 1: And there were some, right?
00:04:14
Speaker 2: His lawyers were pushing back, trying to get brain scans in, trying to suggest that there was something from his childhood that had an impact on his behavior in killing these kids. This is a five-year-old and an eight-year-old. And one of them, he tied up He gagged. He put flares in his underwear and under the kid's body and started a fire. You're not going to find a lot of sympathy in a lot of people hooting and hollering about saving this man's life. He burned two helpless, innocent, young children alive.
00:04:53
Speaker 4: And the eight-year-old sister Alyssa was found burned, hiding in a closet. So there was reportedly an argument that happened between Jeffrey Weisheit, a grown man, and a five-year-old little boy that escalated to the point where little Alyssa obviously felt like, yeah, right, which is just a silly thing to say, but she was scared enough that she was hiding in the closet. And it's just a damn shame to think about two helpless little innocent babies being murdered in that vicious way by a man who was supposed to be taking care of them. He was entrusted with their care by his girlfriend, a woman he, at one point recently, claimed he wanted to marry.
00:05:42
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
00:05:45
Speaker 2: This story, and this is the difficult part, Robes, and this was one where the parole board, was it the beginning of this week or was it last week?
00:05:53
Speaker 3: It was last week.
00:05:54
Speaker 1: Last week.
00:05:55
Speaker 2: Parole board denied parole for him. But not just doing so, Robes. It's hard to say it any better. They begged and pleaded with the governor. Please don't grant clemency to this guy. Because this is the guy who still, he's never fully accepted responsibilities. Always still said he didn't start the fire. Robes, this is, these are, I mean, Robes, you can't explain this crime. it's hard to find sympathy for this guy.
00:06:25
Speaker 4: Yes. And especially the judge pointed out that when you look and see what he did and how he did it, it was planned. He had an engagement ring he had been paying for once he believed his girlfriend was cheating on him, once he believed his girlfriend was pregnant, perhaps with his baby. So he decided not to kill her because he believed she might have his child inside of her and to then exact revenge against her by he took the steps to cancel paying for the engagement ring. Um, he took money out of the account. Like he took steps, he packed his bags and before he leaves, he, he ties up her son, puts flares underneath him, sets the house on fire and walks away. Now he denies setting the house on fire, but he claims he just left the kids alone.
00:07:18
Speaker 3: Correct?
00:07:18
Speaker 4: Correct. And he doesn't know what happened later. That wasn't his fault. So he's never taken responsibility.
00:07:26
Speaker 1: Never taken full responsibility for this. He fled afterwards. He took off. He ran.
00:07:30
Speaker 2: That's not a good look, of course. It looked like he wanted to kill himself or at least die by suicide by cop.
00:07:37
Speaker 3: Suicide by cop, yes. That's certainly how he was caught. He fled to Kentucky.
00:07:41
Speaker 4: He led police on a high-speed chase, and the quote that came from the police report from the courtroom, when Weisheit exited, he threw a knife over an officer's head and shouted for the officers to kill him. Two officers used tasers to stun Weisheit, who fell backwards and hit his head. So he was trying to... clearly die in a, I guess, just a hail of bullets by police. And that's how he thought he was going to go out. And now instead, yes, he has spent all these years on death row and is now scheduled to be executed before dawn.
00:08:17
Speaker 2: Well, this is, again, they're never celebratory. I mean, this is justice for some people. This is justice for some families. But we were surprised to see Who is asking for this man's life to be spared?
00:08:35
Speaker 1: Stay here.
00:08:36
Speaker 2: We'll tell you about the one parent of these two kids who is asking the court to spare his life, asking anybody to spare his life. Also coming up, we'll let you hear the exact language in the death order that sets the death time any time before sunrise. And we'll tell you where we are with executions in the country. Yes, Florida is still leading the way.
00:09:07
Speaker 3: Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and TJ.
00:09:10
Speaker 4: Yes, by the time you go to bed tonight, depending on where you are in the country, and, well, if you're like us, you go to bed pretty early, the state of Indiana will be executing a man sometime between midnight and 6 a.m.
00:09:24
Speaker 3: Their state's orders are to perform these executions.
00:09:30
Speaker 4: It's a single dose of pentobarbital, a lethal injection, and it's to be done under the cloak of darkness, so to speak. And it looks like if this execution goes as the other three have, since they've resumed executions in that state, Jeffrey Weisheit will likely be dead before 1 a.m.
00:09:48
Speaker 3: Eastern time.
00:09:49
Speaker 2: And they get a lot of attention to pentobarbital these days, of course, because of Krista Pike. But yes, they do use the one drug dose for their lethal injection. They're obviously some high profile problems here recently but they have been able to pull this off in this state at least uh without a hit here lately the death order we want to include here and again robes is just a throwback a relic some of them call it to um different times when they changed when executions were being done so They are doing this one. First chance they get. Midnight is when the death order is open, and Robes, they get right to business.
00:10:29
Speaker 3: They certainly do.
00:10:30
Speaker 4: And look, his attorneys have tried to delay this. They've been trying for the last couple of days this week about the penobarbital. They've been using that as part of their arguments that they wanted to see the origins and how it's been kept. They want to see the records. They want to see the receipts. But all of that has been denied. And it does look like this will happen. Really, the proceeding should begin at the stroke of midnight. The death order, it is very formal.
00:10:54
Speaker 3: In how it reads. We'll read it for you.
00:10:57
Speaker 4: Being duly advised, the court finds there is no stay of execution now in effect, and we must complete our administrative task to set an execution date under Indiana Code Section 3552-9H and Criminal Rule 6.1. It is ordered that the execution of the death sentence imposed on Jeffrey Weisheit to be carried out on Thursday, November 5th, 2026.
00:11:23
Speaker 3: Before the hour of sunrise.
00:11:25
Speaker 1: That's incredible.
00:11:26
Speaker 3: It does sound so old school, like we hear by decree.
00:11:29
Speaker 4: It's like something you would see posted on the front gate of Buckingham Palace, like a death decree of days past.
00:11:39
Speaker 1: And we're holding on to some of this stuff.
00:11:41
Speaker 2: This is how we execute people in the country still, based on rules of 100 years ago.
00:11:45
Speaker 1: This is how we still go about it. Look, these are never celebratory.
00:11:48
Speaker 2: Like I said, celebratory days are There are days that give justice, but they are solemn, and they are solemn reminders of, really, the fragility of life, how short life can be, I guess the formality. These are just these ceremonies of death. Robes are always uncomfortable, and maybe they should be, but for maybe the families of these kids, it feels like justice, but at least for their.
00:12:13
Speaker 1: Dad, maybe not.
00:12:15
Speaker 4: Exactly, because it's pretty remarkable. The father of little Caleb and little Alyssa Lynch, he actually wrote to the court asking for the judge to reduce Weisheit's sentence to life without parole. And so he asks, what good does it do to the memory of my children to put this man to death?
00:12:43
Speaker 3: And he says, hurting Mr.
00:12:45
Speaker 4: Weisheit's family by executing him is not the outcome my children would want. I seek to save his family the great pain and loss from the taking of his life. I want to prevent another parent from experiencing the loss I have experienced. And then he ends this by actually directly writing to Jeffrey Weisheit. He says, Jeffrey, I forgive you. That is remarkable.
00:13:13
Speaker 1: That's got to be somebody steeped in faith. I mean, it just has to be. But he's right. I mean, what good does it do?
00:13:22
Speaker 2: The conversations here and so much the past week and several weeks have been about petitions to this court and that court and brain scans and clemency and waiting. It's all been about him and not been about these two kids. And so what good does it do to their life, their legacy for him to die? I don't know. Yes.
00:13:41
Speaker 3: And look, that is the Lynch children's father.
00:13:44
Speaker 4: It was noted as well in court that it said it must be underscored that. The father simply speaks for himself and in no way purports to speak for all the children's family bereaved in this unspeakable tragedy. So it's pretty clear that other members of the family don't feel the same way.
00:14:02
Speaker 3: That dad does.
00:14:03
Speaker 4: And ultimately, look, a jury did sentence him to death. And the governor says that, yes, he is going to honor that sentence. He is not stepping in. He is not commuting his sentence, and he will not be granting clemency. So this execution should take place old school, right after midnight and before dawn. We'll, of course, keep our eye on the situation, bring you anything that develops.
00:14:27
Speaker 1: The other two.
00:14:28
Speaker 3: Yes, it is the.
00:14:29
Speaker 4: First of three executions scheduled in a 24-hour period. The other two will be taking place at 6 p.m., local time, respectively, one in the state of Alabama, the other in the state of Florida.
00:14:44
Speaker 3: So we will keep.
00:14:45
Speaker 4: Our eye on a pretty busy day in the death chambers around this country over the next 24 hours. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us. I'm Amy Robach alongside TJ Holmes.
00:14:56
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, November 4th, and the state of Indiana has an execution planned for tomorrow. And they plan to get it done by sunrise. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Robes. They'll have this execution done tomorrow. before most people wake up. They will have it done before a lot of people even go to sleep.

Speaker 1: I don't know.
00:02:47
Speaker 4: I don't know.
00:02:48
Speaker 1: It seems odd to do. We've seen some states robes.
00:02:53
Speaker 2: That will do the execution or set it, excuse me, for 10 in the morning.
00:02:59
Speaker 1: I just want to have enough time. If something goes wrong.
00:03:01
Speaker 3: Correct.
00:03:02
Speaker 1: Get paperwork in order, if you will.
00:03:03
Speaker 4: Right. But this in this case in particular, yes, the death warrant basically begins right after or I guess at the stroke of midnight.

It is ordered that the execution of the death sentence imposed on Jeffrey Weisheit to be carried out on Thursday, November 5th, 2026.
00:11:23
Speaker 3: Before the hour of sunrise.
00:11:25
Speaker 1: That's incredible.
00:11:26
Speaker 3: It does sound so old school, like we hear by decree.
00:11:29
Speaker 4: It's like something you would see posted on the front gate of Buckingham Palace, like a death decree of days past.
00:11:39
Speaker 1: And we're holding on to some of this stuff.
00:11:41
Speaker 2: This is how we execute people in the country still, based on rules of 100 years ago.
00:11:45
Speaker 1: This is how we still go about it. Look, these are never celebratory.
00:11:48
Speaker 2: Like I said, celebratory days are There are days that give justice, but they are solemn, and they are solemn reminders of, really, the fragility of life, how short life can be, I guess the formality. These are just these ceremonies of death. Robes are always uncomfortable, and maybe they should be, but for maybe the families of these kids, it feels like justice, but at least for their.
00:12:13
Speaker 1: Dad, maybe not.
00:12:15
Speaker 4: Exactly, because it's pretty remarkable. The father of little Caleb and little Alyssa Lynch, he actually wrote to the court asking for the judge to reduce Weisheit's sentence to life without parole. And so he asks, what good does it do to the memory of my children to put this man to death?
00:12:43
Speaker 3: And he says, hurting Mr.
00:12:45
Speaker 4: Weisheit's family by executing him is not the outcome my children would want. I seek to save his family the great pain and loss from the taking of his life. I want to prevent another parent from experiencing the loss I have experienced. And then he ends this by actually directly writing to Jeffrey Weisheit. He says, Jeffrey, I forgive you. That is remarkable.
00:13:13
Speaker 1: That's got to be somebody steeped in faith. I mean, it just has to be. But he's right. I mean, what good does it do?
00:13:22
Speaker 2: The conversations here and so much the past week and several weeks have been about petitions to this court and that court and brain scans and clemency and waiting. It's all been about him and not been about these two kids. And so what good does it do to their life, their legacy for him to die? I don't know. Yes.
00:13:41
Speaker 3: And look, that is the Lynch children's father.
00:13:44
Speaker 4: It was noted as well in court that it said it must be underscored that. The father simply speaks for himself and in no way purports to speak for all the children's family bereaved in this unspeakable tragedy. So it's pretty clear that other members of the family don't feel the same way.
00:14:02
Speaker 3: That dad does.
00:14:03
Speaker 4: And ultimately, look, a jury did sentence him to death. And the governor says that, yes, he is going to honor that sentence. He is not stepping in. He is not commuting his sentence, and he will not be granting clemency. So this execution should take place old school, right after midnight and before dawn. We'll, of course, keep our eye on the situation, bring you anything that develops.
00:14:27
Speaker 1: The other two.
00:14:28
Speaker 3: Yes, it is the.
00:14:29
Speaker 4: First of three executions scheduled in a 24-hour period. The other two will be taking place at 6 p.m., local time, respectively, one in the state of Alabama, the other in the state of Florida.
00:14:44
Speaker 3: So we will keep.
00:14:45
Speaker 4: Our eye on a pretty busy day in the death chambers around this country over the next 24 hours. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us. I'm Amy Robach alongside TJ Holmes.
00:14:56
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you soon.
