Thomas Creech was scheduled to be executed by the US state of
Idaho on February 28, 2024. He was sentenced to death for three
murders in Idaho and one murder each in Oregon and California
between 1974 and 1981. The now 73-year-old has been in prison in
Idaho for almost 50 years (as of March 2024, editor's note).
On February 28, 2024, the state of Idaho attempted to
execute Thomas Creech by lethal injection at the age of 73.
According to the FEDERAL DEFENDER SERVICES OF IDAHO, his
executioners tried to stick a hypodermic needle into his veins
10 times. But it failed again and again. An unimaginable
situation, a terrible torture for their victim! In the end they
gave up and took Thomas Creech back to his cell!
We are
in close contact with Thomas and this website is intended to
give him the opportunity to speak. He says so himself: "The web site you spoke of would be great, I would like to
write to many people and spread the word against the death
penalty!!!"
Unfortunately, this contact has
been disrupted for many months (see under
).
Below is a short videogram that Thomas sent
for you (unfortunately the prisoners are only allowed to record
a maximum of 30 seconds):
