(BOISE) – A death row inmate who killed a Blackfoot woman has been ordered executed within the next 30 days. A judge signed the death warrant, meaning inmate Richard Albert Leavitt will most likely be executed by lethal injection on June 12. Leavitt was convicted in the 1984 brutal stabbing death of 31-year-old Danette Elg in her Blackfoot home. Leavitt’s execution would be the second in Idaho in the past seven months. Paul Ezra Rhoades was executed Nov. 18.
