Tom Creech in the News Again

Thomas Creech, who has been on death row since 1983, is now 73 and has five murder convictions in California, Idaho, and Oregon. He was put on death row after the beating death of David Jensen in 1981. He has an extensive criminal history and has admitted to killing or participating in at least 26 people. He has also admitted that he will kill again. He was recently in the news because of several transports to the hospital for different issues. He was set to be executed last month but the medical personnel could not find a vein. He had a fall in 2022 and has been taken to the hospital for appointments at the beginning of the year but it isn't known what they were for. Ada County Proscecutor's Office says they have no comment at this time regarding planning to file a new death warrant for Creech. In a recent article on Fox News Deborah Denno, a professor at Fordham Law School, who is an expert on capital punishment explains "that lethal injection has become less reliable over the years with production of a key drug no longer conducted on American soil. She added that the death penalty is better delivered by the time-tested firing squad over new methods like Alabama's nitrogen hypoxia process, which resulted in a gruesome scene during its first use in January." So what are your thoughts on the firing squad? Personally, I think it is short, sweet, and to the point. Instead of leaving the creeps on death row for decades and taxpayers footin' the bill.
