Idaho Supreme Court denies execution stay for Thomas Creech
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — The Idaho Supreme court has denied an emergency motion for stay in the execution of Thomas Creech.
Creech’s attorneys filed the order last week, looking to halt his execution next month until his appeal is “fully developed and finalized.”
The state supreme court denied the request earlier Wednesday, writing in part that his appeal will be heard before his execution date.
Attorneys for Creech have already filed an appeal of Wednesday’s decision.
Creech is on death row following the murder of a fellow inmate back in the 80s.
Right now his execution date is set for November 13th.
