Idaho's death row execution process and current inmates

  • There are 27 states that currently authorize capital punishment in the United States, including Idaho. Three of those states, Pennsylvania, California, and Oregon, have a moratorium on executions.
    Eight people are currently on Idaho’s death row. Including one female, Robin Row, and Idaho’s longest-serving death row prisoner, Thomas Creech, who was sentenced four decades ago in 1983.
    “The death penalty has been taking longer and longer and it's gotten longer over time,” said Robert Dunham the executive director of The Death Penalty Information Center, a non-profit that does not take a stance for or against capital punishment. “In 2000, the Bureau of Justice Statistics said that the average amount of time that an individual was on death row was 7.7 years. At the end of 2020. The Bureau of Justice Statistics said the average was 19.4 years.”
    L. Lamont Anderson, the chief of the Capitol Litigation Unit in the Idaho Attorney general’s office, explained the legal process of execution.
    “If a death sentence is imposed, then they have what we call post-conviction relief,” Anderson said.
    From there, it can go through a complex route of higher courts, with some making it all the way to the United States Supreme Court.
    “Within that timeframe, you can have successive post-conviction petitions that get the federal proceedings sidetracked. And so, to do the review that is involved, at least in Idaho, it just takes a very long time,” Anderson said.
    So long, that Anderson is still working on some cases he first started when he took the job 25 years ago.
    “We have eight death sentence murders. And less than half of those are what you would call new cases. The others are old, from the 80s 90s, early 2000s,” Anderson said.
    In 2014, the Idaho Legislature’s Office of Performance Evaluations conducted a study of the financial costs of the death penalty. The evaluation found that the death penalty costs more than sentencing a person to life without parole because capital cases take longer to resolve than non-capital cases.
    The last time Idaho executed someone on death row was executed in Idaho was in 2012 when Rochard Leavitt was put to death by lethal injection. His execution came just seven months after Paul Rhoades was executed.
    “It was very intense, it was very challenging. There's so many aspects that play into it,” said Brent Reinke, the Twin Falls County Commissioner, who was serving as the director of the Idaho Department of Corrections when the two executions took place.
    “In that time period, it was very difficult to be able to acquire the necessary drugs to be able to carry out the execution,” Reinke said. “And so that was a very daunting task, working with a lot of other states and a lot of other jurisdictions, trying to understand where we might be able to acquire those, how that might be done. And then we did a tremendous amount of rehearsing, leading up to that particular event.”
    Obtaining those drugs sparked controversy and a call for more transparency after reports came out saying that states, like Idaho, sent employees to pharmacies in other states, with suitcases full of cash to pick up the drugs to be used in the execution. Bringing up questions about the lethal injection drug suppliers, as well as the nature of the drug and its efficacy.
    “Idaho also has as a very serious issue, the question of secrecy and public accountability,” Dunham said. “The state has said that it's had difficulty in obtaining execution drugs. But when you look at the state's practices, you understand that it's engaged in cloak and dagger activities in trying to obtain the drugs.”
    Last month, Idaho Governor Brad Little signed a bill into law that increases the secrecy surrounding Idaho’s lethal injection drugs. Which stems from what happened nearly a decade ago. Supporters of the bill said it is the only way Idaho can continue carrying out lawful executions because no suppliers of the chemicals will sell the drugs to the state without guaranteed confidentiality.
    Looking back at the executions, Reinke called them the most difficult task someone can handle in the Idaho criminal justice system.
    ‘It's something that is permanent, and we want to do that, as I've indicated, with as much professionalism, dignity, and respect, which is what our governor asked of us. That's what we provided, and I'm very proud of the men and women that carry that out,” Reinke said. “We made sure that we dotted every I and crossed every T so that we could carry out as the governor wished.”

    My cousin was put to death in Mississippi and it was less than 10 years when they did it... He killed his wife, daughter and his wife's parents. He admitted he did it and wanted death for it. There is no sense in giving death if they get to live decades after. It is just a joke and the murderers know this so the death sentence means nothing to them.. They are fed, clothed and a roof over their heads and still get to see their families... It is a joke and a slap in the face to the victims family. smh

      I was a correctional officer for 3yrs at medium to max out here when the private prison was mismanaging the prison.
      I remember in 2011 when they put a guy to death. On my way to work and saw protestors outside the boundaries of the state prison on pleasant valley. I chuckled when I read one sign that said capital punishment is a joke. Give them life.
      And I thought seriously, life in prison is a joke. These guys get to spend all day hanging out with their friends and they get 3 hot meals, a warm bunk, and plenty of recreation options. And they don't pay a dime. But I watched as the inmate population enjoyed "early returement" on the very tax dollars I was earning to baby sit them.
      Capital punisent isn't about deterring crime, it's about justice.
      After some of the more disturbing inmate characters I've come across, those who truly sick and deserve it,
      I'm convinced it would be much better to create gladiator coliseums again.

      Explain please why you think it is a deterrent. Even when the penalty was hanging, drawing and quartering or pressing with boulders, people still murdered. The death penalty is mere vengeance. Also, there is no humane method of carrying out executions. The Chair is barbaric, hanging is not by the 'drop' method, the victim is left to strangle slowly, Firing squad is frequently botched by poor marksmanship and many of the procedures have shown bullets hitting everywhere. Lethal injection is torment and like the rest is de fact, "cruel and unusual punishment". Of course the constitution now is worthless since a rogue president instigated an attack on the Capitol and got away with it. The US is second only to China for the number of executions it carries out, is that because the US has a huge number of bad people?

    I’m not a fan of the death penalty but understand the legal reasons for it and why many support it.

That would insure innocent people are not executed and gives the condemned time to prove innocence.

    Not being able to buy the requisite death penalty chemicals from chemical companies for political reasons seems like it should be easy enough to overcome. The state could and should recruit and hire their own chemist(s) to formulate the needed concoctions. There are (and pretty much always have been) chemists as well as other scientists in the direct employ of state governments. I would expect there could possibly be dozens of chemists employed just by one state's crime lab. Absolute anonymity can easily be written into the terms of any contract between a state government and a lab chemist who has been recruited for this purpose.
    Furthermore, with a literal epidemic of overdose deaths traced to bathtub Fentanyl, why not use it for the ultimate punishment? State evidence lockers are reportedly full of the stuff. Enough with the endless incarcerations of the condemned. Enough with the absurdly over-produced execution protocols. If you inject a man or a woman with enough fentanyl to kill a moose they are going to quickly pass into unconsciousness and die just as quickly. There will be no more botched jobs where the condemned chokes and exhibits obvious signs of torturous pain. If they don't want to use fentanyl culled from the evidence locker, buy the precursors from the same place the drug kingpins buy it - China.

These methods would be a deterrent to other future murderers!

      Why should the details of the drug provider be kept anonymous? If a state declares a death sentence as a justified punishment and a drug provider willingly provides the drugs to carry out such a sentence yet would prefer to remain anonymous why is this? It is under no obligation to provide the drugs and if done so willingly should have no need to keep this secret. If it has any reservations about proving the drugs wouldn't it make more sense to not supply them ?

    I empathize with the families of the victims and their quest to seek justice. But as was pointed out (6:46 - 7:54), out of 1500 executions, 187 were found innocent. If a prisoner is executed and then found innocent, you cannot give back his/her life. Is it justice then? Wouldn't that change the picture of the case from a prisoner to be sentenced to instead a man/woman kidnapped & held against their will and then murdered? The Nuremberg trials in 1946 pointed this out- "just following orders" doesn't cut it. Is it acceptable that the error rate be 12. 467%? What is "justice" when you or your family is in that 12.476%? How do they get justice? Constitutionally speaking, doesn't "equal protection under the law" include someone on death row? Ok, they are executed, then found innocent. What now? Execute the presiding family member for what is now murder? Or would it be the warden, or even the governor? Where i justice in all of this?

    The death penalty literally serves no purpose other than revenge. It's not justice, you can't bring the deceased back. Maybe in an alternate universe if executing the killers bought the victim back then I'd support it but it needs abolishing.

    • @gruesomedead

      It is justice. I worked in a med to max for 3 yrs.
      Life in prison is a joke. Those guys literally get to live the retired life style with plenty of amenities all off the tax dollars YOU work for.
      It's not about bringing people back. It doesn't matter if it deters. Death penalty is just when the crime fits the punishment.
      The majority of people out there have not had opportunities to have conversations with people in the prison system who should never be let out.
      Not all, but many in the system are every bit the definition of a predator. They have no love for anyone but themselves. Their appetite is their god.
      Those sick predatory people who have committed unspeakable acts against other innocents don't deserve to live the rest of theirs lives comfortably off my tax dollars. It disgusts me.
      Our prisons systems need to be rethought. They aren't "correcting" anything in those places. They enable people to develop more of a criminal mindset by putting like minded people with different criminal backgrounds and skills together for a mixer. Literally.
      What about our senior citizens who are on hospice. Why shouldn't our tax dollars help those members of society and their families out?
      Vs letting predatory minded people who commit sick crimes live a life of retirement for a few life sentences?

      You say that, until you are wrongfully convicted. I think a decade is fair. People are emotionally charged after an event that leads to the death penalty, and there have been many cases where many factors proved rushed or falsified. If they get a ten year sentence with a death sentence at the end, you can hope that the corruption that convicts an innocent has either been flushed out already or has not been able to maintain lies for that long. Hell, what if it's cooperation, you take the fall and I'll pay your family 100k or something like that? If people knew that the family was going to have to survive 10 years before they got payment, otherwise be subject to intense scrutiny, that would discourage people who are ready to give up their lives because they feel like they ruined the family's life and/or the immediate need to dig the family out of whatever trouble they are in. Imagine cooperation due to threats against their family, if they can escape within that ten years, the people would not be providing a path for someone ruthless to perpetuate more harm
