Indiana has excluded journalists from observing executions, pretending that this is a kindness to the convict who is executed. I've read elsewhere that the victim is allowed to invite a limited number of people to attend, and can include journalists among those few. In other words, the victim has to pay a price to have a journalist there. This proves clearly that the state's exclusion of journalists is not meant
