A federal judge overseeing the case of Idaho death row inmate Thomas Creech was removed from the case on Wednesday following a unanimous ruling from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The court found that U.S. District Judge Amanda Brailsford failed to recuse herself from Creech's case earlier this year due to a close friendship with Ada County Prosecutor Jan Bennetts, ordering for a new judge to be assigned. This decision came the same day Creech was issued a new death warrant by the Idaho Department of Corrections, setting his execution date for Nov. 13.
