The federal lawsuit filed by the ACLU, its Oklahoma chapter, The Guardian, and the Oklahoma Observer seeks to "stop Oklahoma prison officials from selectively filtering what journalists can see during an execution."
Lockett, 38, died of a heart attack 43 minutes after being injected with a new drug combination that left him apparently writhing and moaning in pain.
