Originally Published 1 year ago — by CBS News
Idaho delayed the execution of serial killer Thomas Eugene Creech after a failed attempt at lethal injection, marking the state's first execution in over a decade. Creech's attorneys criticized the state's handling of the execution, citing secrecy and concerns about the source of the lethal injection drug. Despite his horrific crimes, Creech was described as a well-behaved inmate who had established relationships with prison staff. Creech, who has been on death row for nearly half a century, was convicted of five murders and is suspected of several others.
