The Indiana Attorney General’s office has asked the state Supreme Court to set an execution date for Roy Lee Ward.
He was sentenced to death for the rape and murder of 15 year old Spencer County teen Stacy Payne.
If a date for his execution is set, it would be the third in Indiana since December.
Earlier this month, Governor Mike Braun said the state had run out of the drugs for lethal injection.
Buying more would cost thousands of dollars.
