As Indiana carries out executions, the state discloses little about where its lethal injection drugs come from.
Lawyers say Indiana obtained the drugs from a secret supplier that was at risk of losing its pharmacy license. They also point to the state’s own accusations of shoddy practices by the supplier.
IndyStar reporter Cate Charron explains the concerns surrounding the pharmacy and how Indiana’s secrecy limits what the public can know about the drugs used in executions.

Indiana is one of only two states that don't allow the media to witness executions.
The other is Wyoming, which has not carried out an execution in three decades.
Indiana has now carried out four in the last two years.
One regret this last legislative session was not getting our death penalty transparency language passed.
If we firmly believe in the death penalty as a means of carrying out justice for the worst offenders - which, in case I haven’t been clear, I do - then we should have zero problem letting reporters observe and ensure it’s done lawfully.
Media outlets shouldn’t have to sue our state to do this, it’s common sense and already the law in nearly every other state that has the death penalty

Republican comptroller Elise Nieshalla, an incumbent, conceded to her Democratic challenger Jessica Bailey in a post to X midday Nov. 4, making the auditor's race the second statewide seat to flip from red to blue as Democrats won big in a historic night across the country.
"It was a tough night last night, not just here, but for Republicans across the country," Nieshalla said in part. "It hurts, but we can’t let disappointment turn into retreat."

The @nytimes has Democrats winning 43 of the 100 House seats. The GOP has only locked down 51. It’s projecting defeats for House Speaker Todd Huston as well as for powerful chairmen like Ed Soliday (utilities) and Bob Behning (education). Truly stunning result out of Indiana
