Idaho has 8 people on death row, California has at least 737. Only three people have been executed in Idaho since 1976. 13 people have been executed in CA since that time, but all in the 14 years between 1992 and 2006.

Wait, were they just jews? Free Palestine?

Since 1819, Texas has executed 1392 men and 8 women.

In Idaho, since 1909, there have been 9 executions, all white men.

Imagine, if you can, how many people they did not kill after they were executed.

From the history, it is clear Creech is very talented at convincing people he is harmless, right up until he kills them.

This guy is a mass murderer who doesn’t deserve clemency at all. Who cares if he has mellowed out over the years.

For nearly 50 years, Idaho's prison staffers have been serving Thomas Eugene Creech three meals a day, checking on him during rounds and taking him to medical appointments.

This Wednesday, some of Idaho's prison staffers will be asked to kill the convicted serial killer. Barring any last-minute stay

But now, decades later, Creech is mostly known inside the walls of the Idaho Maximum Security Institution as just "Tom," a generally well-behaved old-timer with a penchant for poetry.

Oh, he's reformed then. Meanwhile all those people he murdered are still dead.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

FIFTY years?

FAR too long.

u also can't be dismissive of the effect it's going to have on people who have established a relationship with him.

If trial, sentencing and execution were swift, there would have been no time for anyone to establish any sort of relationship with him.....

Mengele Fauci has topped them all at murdering 17M worldwide in his ongoing Covid genocide.

You know he's not coming back to that unit - that's real. It would be really difficult to not feel some sort of emotion about that."

Yes. Closure. Relief. Peace for those he murdered. Say a prayer for Creech's soul, but I doubt it will help him much.

Justice needs to be more than a bit swifter than this case.

[Billthedrill]

This guy has evidence that will lead Hillary Clinton to a prison sentence.

There. I just saved the state of Idaho big bucks...

It is about time.

[muir_redwoods]

I won’t miss him.

[Moltke]

on Friday rejected an argument that Creech should not be executed because he was sentenced by a judge rather than a jury.

Huh, I thought the jury only decides on guilt, then the judge sentences according to the statutes. Do they do it differently in Idaho? Sentenced by a jury? That sounds horrible, given jurors being what they are.
