Benjamin Ritchie convicted in 2000 fatal shooting of Beech Grove Police Officer Bill Toney .
Ritchie , 45 , has been on death row for more than 20 years after being convicted.
Unless there's last-minute court action, Ritchie is scheduled to be executed "before the hour of sunrise" Indiana resumed executions in December after a yearslong hiatus due to scarcity of lethal injection drugs.
Ritchie has spent his last days getting visits from friends and family.
Under state law, he's allowed up to five witnesses at his execution, which will include attorneys and friends.
“I wish I could go back to the day in court, because that man's wife deserved to say everything she needed to say to me," Ritchie said.
