Clarion-Ledger Perspective Editor Sid Salter, Scott County Times reporter Chris Allen Baker and AP correpsondent Jack Elliott Jr. are print journalists scheduled to witness the execution of confessed murderer Bobby Glen Wilcher Tuesday afternoon at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility.

Mom removed debris. And the girls — 15 and 16 — took care of children at the local Boys and Girls Club.
