Boise, Idaho – Governor Brad Little issued the following statement today about the execution proceedings for Thomas Creech this morning.
“IDOC officials are experienced and well prepared for a variety of situations that can arise during lethal injection execution. The team of professionals at IDOC was prepared for the possibility that medical professionals would not be able to access the inmate’s veins, a circumstance that has occurred in execution procedures elsewhere in the country. The competent and qualified medical professionals present and IDOC officials were cautious and did the right thing in not moving forward with the execution. My office will remain in close communication with IDOC about next steps,” Governor Little said.

There should be backup plans. Pillow over his face. Pistol shot to the chest. Slash his throat. If he is condemned, he’s condemned.
What an absurd excuse… unable to access a vein….in this modern medical era. This has to be a joke.
Firing squad always works, bullets are cheap. What kind of incompetents run the asylum!>?
This method has my vote.
Our Libral Governor should not be making Excuses for a State Agency Botched up and Mismanaged far Overdue Execution.
Idaho needs a well lubed Guillotine at the base of the capitol’s steps.
Low cost, clean and effective.
Plus a great deterrent to others
