"Idaho Prepares for Execution of Long-Serving Death Row Inmate Thomas Creech"

Thomas Eugene Creech, a 73-year-old death row inmate, is set for execution in Idaho after nearly 50 years behind bars. He was convicted of multiple murders in three states and is suspected of several others. Creech's attorneys have filed last-minute appeals to halt the execution, but a three-judge panel rejected the argument that he should not be executed because he was sentenced by a judge rather than a jury. If carried out, this will be Idaho's first execution in 12 years. Creech's criminal history includes killing a fellow prisoner in 1981 and confessing to multiple other killings.
