Indiana preparing to execute Evansville man Thursday

Early on the morning of Thursday, Nov. 5, the state of Indiana is scheduled to execute an Evansville man for the murders of two children. However, concerns have been raised about how Indiana kills people via lethal injection following two recent botched executions in Tennessee and misconduct related to the state's execution drug supplier. Here's what we know: What was Jeffrey Weisheit convicted of? Weisheit has been sitting on death row since 2013 when he was convicted and sentenced to death for the 2010 murders of two young children, 8-year-old Alyssa Lynch and her 5-year-old brother, Caleb. The children were trapped and burned alive in their home in Evansville. Weisheit, who was babysitting his girlfriend's children, hogtied the boy and stuffed his mouth with a washcloth, then duct-taped over it, according to court documents. He stuffed a railroad flare in the child's underwear and placed another under his body. The boy died of smoke and soot inhalation. His sister, Alyssa, was found in a closet where investigators believe she was trapped or fled to escape the fire. She died from smoke inhalation, and a pathologist found that she may have burned while still alive. When and where is the execution
