BOISE, Idaho – Lawyers for Thomas Creech, Idaho’s longest-serving death row inmate, are seeking to commute his death sentence. They are pushing for Creech to serve life without parole instead of facing execution.
Creech’s attorneys argue that commuting the sentence allows the family of a man killed in 1974 to ask him about their loved one’s death. They believe this questioning is important for the family.
The attorneys have expressed their criticism of the state’s actions, stating that Idaho is “making history in the worst way possible” by attempting to execute Creech again.
Creech’s execution is currently scheduled for November 13. The outcome of the petition remains to be seen, as the legal process unfolds.
