BOISE, Idaho — Convicted killer Thomas Creech made a court appearance on Thursday, August 29 where his petition for post-conviction relief was considered.
We are still awaiting Judge Jason D Scott's decision on whether the petition will be considered or dismissed.
The Judge clarified that the court preceding is not deciding whether to vacate Creech's conviction, instead it's deliberating whether the defense has a case to move forward on the grounds of cruel and unusual punishment following the failed execution of Creech in March of 2024.
