Leavitt Back on Death Row

  Published at

(BOISE) – An Idaho prison inmate accused of brutally murdering a Blackfoot woman 27 years ago is back on death row. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sentenced Richard Leavitt to death by lethal injection, overturning an appeal made in 2007 that changed the inmate’s sentence to life in prison. Leavitt was originally sentenced to death row for the 1984 stabbing death of Danette Jean Elg.
