If he is put to death as scheduled Wednesday , it will be the state's first execution since 2009 .
Indiana last executed Matthew Wrinkles in 2009 for killing his wife, her brother and sister-in-law.
While in prison, he reportedly bragged about shooting his parents in 1992 in Steuben County .
Corcoran had exhausted his federal appeals in 2016 .
On Wednesday , his attorneys filed a petition in U.S. District Court of Northern Indiana .
They argue he has "severe and longstanding paranoid schizophrenia" and his condition “manifests as auditory hallucinations and delusions that prison guards are torturing him with an ultrasound machine”.
