ANDERSON – An inmate will be leaving Indiana’s death row after more than 25 years after taking a deal with prosecutors giving him a 75-year prison sentence for killing a woman during a robbery.

A Madison County judge on Wednesday accepted a guilty plea from Mark Allen Wisehart to murder and other charges in connection with the 1982 attack in Anderson that killed 61-year-old Marjorie Johnson.

The agreement ends Wisehart’s legal fight against his 1983 conviction and death sentence, which a federal appeals court threw out in ruling last year that a juror might have been tainted when she heard that Wisehart was taking a polygraph test whose results were never admitted in court.

The Herald Bulletin reported Wisehart had little to say as he was led from the courtroom.

“I’m good, thanks,” he said, wearing a red inmate uniform, dark glasses and shackled at the wrists and ankles.
