Description
This is an appeal from a death sentence imposed upon defendant-appellant Thomas Eugene Creech after his plea of guilty to the charge of first degree murder. The cause is before this Court pursuant to the provisions of I.C. § 19-2827, Whenever the death penalty is imposed, and upon the judgment becoming final in the trial court, the sentence shall be reviewed on the record by the Supreme Court of Idaho, and also upon an appeal filed by Creech, asserting error in certain proceedings, actions and orders of the trial court. We hold that the sentence was validly imposed in conformity with the statutory requirements for the imposition of a death sentence and that the sentence imposed was not in violation of either the Constitution of the State of Idaho or the Constitution of the United States. We affirm. The following facts regarding the particular offense are disclosed by the record. At the time of the offense here in question, Creech was an inmate of the Idaho State Correctional Institution, serving a life sentence for first degree murder. The victim of this offense, Dale Jensen, had been convicted of car theft and was serving a sentence in the same institution. Jensen had some years earlier sustained a gunshot wound to the head which had necessitated the removal of part of his brain and the placement of a plastic plate in his skull. His speech and motor functions were impaired to some extent. At the time of the offense, both Creech and Jensen were housed in the maximum security tier of the institution.
