"Idaho's Failed Execution of Thomas Creech Sparks Lethal Injection Scrutiny"
TL;DR Summary
The execution of Idaho's longest-serving death row inmate, Thomas Creech, was delayed after officials failed to establish an IV line for the lethal injection. Creech, 73, has been in prison since 1974 and was sentenced to die for the 1981 fatal beating of a fellow inmate. This botched procedure is the latest example of a state struggling to perform the fatal procedure, with Alabama also facing issues with lethal injections.
