Federal Judge Halts Execution of Idaho Serial Killer Thomas Creech
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge has temporarily halted the execution of Thomas Eugene Creech, Idaho's longest-serving death row inmate, after a botched lethal injection attempt earlier this year. The stay allows time to review claims of prosecutorial misconduct during Creech's clemency hearing. Creech, convicted of multiple murders, was scheduled for execution on November 13. The Idaho Department of Correction has suspended execution preparations, and new protocols for lethal injection have been announced following the failed attempt.
