A federal judge granted Idaho serial killer Thomas Creech a stay of execution just one week before he was scheduled to be put to death, months after he survived a botched execution. Creech, 74, survived a lethal injection execution in February after authorities were unable to establish an IV line throughout multiple parts of his body, court documents say. His attorneys argued it would be cruel and unusual punishment to carry out another death sentence after his botched execution earlier this year, and that it would violate double jeopardy principles, according to a petition last month.
