USA :Thomas Creech: Idaho execution delayed after failed lethal injection

No Vein is located in his arm.

Killer of over 20

Not dead yet.



[The execution of Idaho's longest-serving
death row inmate has been delayed after
officials failed to deliver a fatal lethal injection dose.

The death sentence against serial killer
Thomas Creech, 73, was due to be carried
out in Boise on Wednesday.

"The medical team could not establish an
IV line, rendering the execution unable to
proceed," prison officials said in a statement.

The execution would have been Idaho's first in 12 years.

Idaho's botched procedure came hours before
Texas executed a double murderer who continues
to profess his innocence.

Ivan Cantu and his supporters
argued that he deserved a retrial due
to ineffective defence counsel during
his trial. His cause had garnered the
support of celebrities including
Kim Kardashian as well as
Reps Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass) and
Joaquin Castro (D-Tex).

Creech has been in prison since 1974
and was sentenced to die for the 1981
fatal beating of a fellow inmate.
He is one of the US's oldest death
row inmates.]

Sickeningly barbaric.

However this is just not the way.

he has been on death row for 50 years, so it's not like they didn't have time to prepare

Looks totally pointless to me...no pun intended.

Philadelphia man finally walks free from death row 30 years after wrongful conviction for arson murder….

A Philadelphia man who spent almost 30 years on death row after being wrongfully convicted of arson murder has been set free.

Daniel Gwynn, 54, was convicted in 1994 over the death of an unhoused woman – Marsha Smith – in West Philadelphia.

The District Attorney’s office said in a statement that the conviction and sentence had been secured by police and prosecutors who had “suppressed information to which [Mr Gwynn] was legally entitled.” All charges against him were dropped on Wednesday.

“The exoneration of Daniel Gwynn today frees a man who is likely innocent,” said Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner. “Sadly, it also exemplifies an era of inexact and, at times corrupt, policing and prosecution that has broken trust with our communities to this day.”

Mr Krasner continued: “The public expects the right consequences for those who commit violent crimes and wants the innocent to be free.

“When law enforcement wrongly arrests, prosecutes, and imprisons the innocent, the guilty go free and are emboldened to do more harm.”
