ID: Judge schedules re-try of prisoner killing after botched attempt

Source: United Press International

“An Idaho judge has scheduled the [killing by state employees] of the state’s longest-serving death row inmate following a botched attempt to administer his sentence earlier this year. Fourth Judicial District Judge Jason Scott on Wednesday issued the death warrant for Thomas Eugene Creech for 10 a.m. on Nov. 13. … Creech has been convicted of killing five people, four in 1974 in Portland, Ore., and Sacramento, Calif., for which he received life sentences. The death penalty was handed down after he pleaded guilty for beating a fellow inmate to death with a sock filled with batteries in 1981.” (10/17/24)
