Indiana execution procedure gives ultimate punishment behind a veil of secrecy

Written By Bob Gump


If the state of Indiana moves forward with the execution of convicted murderer Benjamin Ritchie on May 20 as planned, the Indiana news media — and by extension the public — will have no legal right to witness the proceeding. Our government will impose the ultimate punishment behind a veil of secrecy, with no objective witnesses.

It’s time for that to change.
