(Redirected from Gregory Scott Johnson)

The following is a list of people executed by the U.S. state of Indiana since its statehood.

A total of 20 people convicted of murder have been executed by the state of Indiana in the United States since the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1977. Before 1995, electrocution was the sole method of execution. This was replaced with lethal injection in 1995. The executions on this list are of those executed by the state government of Indiana; this list does not include persons executed within Indiana by the Federal Government.[1] Two other people, Alton Coleman and Michael Lee Lockhart, were sentenced to death in Indiana, but executed in other states.
