Media organizations sue Idaho, demanding access to view lethal injection executions via closed-circuit cameras.

News organizations including the Associated Press, The Idaho Statesman, and East Idaho News have sued Idaho's top prison official, seeking increased access to lethal injection executions. They argue that the state's practice of hiding the administration of lethal drugs violates the public's First Amendment right to witness the full execution process. The lawsuit aims to allow media witnesses to view the preparation and administration of lethal drugs via closed-circuit cameras.
