Evenly Split Indiana Supreme Court Affirms Ruling Requiring Release of Execution-Drug Records

Indiana
Supreme Court has affirmed a trial court ruling that requires the Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC) to release records related to the lethal injection drugs Indiana has used in carrying out executions, including the identities of the drug suppliers. The documents were the subject of a public records suit filed by Washington, D.C. lawyer
A. Katherine Toomey under the Indiana Access to Public Records Act (APRA).
In a statement issued after the decision, Toomey’s appeal lawyer, Peter Racher, hailed the state supreme court’s decision as “a vindication of Indiana’s Access to Public Records Act.”
“Ms. Toomey made her request for lethal injection public records back in 2014,” Racher said. “Pursuant to APRA, she should have received all the records she requested. … Now that the Indiana Supreme Court has spoken, we look forward to obtaining all the responsive records from the Department of Correction as soon as possible.”
