BOISE, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) —Earlier this year, the State of Idaho attempted to execute Thomas Eugene Creech by lethal injection. For nearly an hour, the execution team attempted to establish a vein across various parts of his body, but each attempt resulted in vein collapse.
After many attempts, the procedure was halted, and Creech sought for post-conviction relief. He argued that proceeding with the lethal injection using a central line catheter after the execution attempt was stopped, it would constitute cruel and unusual punishment.
The district court dismissed the application because he failed to state a claim of constitutional violation. When Creech appealed, The Idaho Supreme Court held up to the district courts dismissal, as he failed to explain why the execution would be considered cruel and unusual punishment. It was also concluded that Creech could not bring a claim under the Eighth Amendment because he did not propose an alternative method of execution.
