Idaho’s Execution of Serial Killer Thomas Creech Stalled After 10 Failed IV Attempts

Idaho's Execution of Serial Killer Thomas Creech Stalled After 10 Failed IV Attempts

Idaho faced a setback in its attempt to execute Thomas Creech, one of the longest-serving death row inmates in the nation. Creech, aged 73, has been behind bars since 1974 for multiple murders. His scheduled execution stemmed from the 1981 killing of a fellow inmate, for which he used a sock filled with batteries. Additionally, Creech is a suspect in a cold case from 1974 in California that was recently solved.

Despite the U.S. Supreme Court rejecting several appeals from Creech’s lawyers, citing claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and challenging the state’s execution protocol, the execution could not proceed. This was due to the medical team’s inability to establish an IV line after attempting 10 times in Creech’s arms and legs, according to a statement from the Idaho Department of Correction.

As a result, the state’s death warrant expired, necessitating Idaho to seek a new execution date from the court.

Anger and Frustration Over “Botched” Execution

Creech’s legal team expressed anger and frustration at what they termed a “botched” execution. They criticized the use of individuals with unknown training to carry out the procedure, blaming this for the failure to establish the IV line. They also described Creech as “a harmless old man” who had already endured significant suffering.

Idaho’s Execution Dilemma and Alternatives

Idaho has not executed anyone since 2012 and remains one of the few states that permit firing squads as an alternative method of execution. However, despite this option, the state has neither constructed a facility nor developed a policy for its utilization, as reported by the Associated Press.

Controversy Surrounding Another Execution in Texas

Meanwhile, in Texas, preparations were underway for the execution of Ivan Cantu on the same night. Cantu, convicted of shooting his cousin and his cousin’s fiancée during a robbery in 2000, has maintained his innocence. His case has garnered support from celebrities and jurors from his original trial, who have called for a retrial, alleging that Cantu was framed by another individual who was the true perpetrator.

The contrasting situations in Idaho and Texas highlight the ongoing debate and controversy surrounding the death penalty and the execution process in the United States.
