       BOISE, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — The Idaho Department of Correction
       served Idaho Maximum Security Institution resident Gerald R
       Pizzuto with a death warrant at 1:05 p.m. Wednesday.
       Second Judicial District Judge Jay P. Gaskill issued the warrant
       Wednesday morning. The warrant schedules Mr. Pizzuto’s execution
       for Dec. 15, 2022.
       IDOC Director Josh Tewalt has informed the Board of Correction,
       the Governor’s Office, and the Attorney General’s Office that
       the Department is not in possession of the chemicals necessary
       to carry out an execution by lethal injection.
       Efforts to lawfully source chemicals are ongoing.
       Pizzuto, who has spent over 30 years on death row, was
       originally scheduled to be executed in June of last year for the
       killings of two gold prospectors near McCall in 1985.

       BOISE, Idaho — Gerald Pizzuto Jr., convicted nearly 37 years ago
       of murdering two people in Idaho, has a new execution date.
       A Second District judge on Friday issued a death warrant for
       Pizzuto, ordering that he be put to death March 23, unless an
       appeals court stays the execution. The warrant states that the
       court has found "no valid stays of execution are currently in
       place." This is the second death warrant issued for Pizzuto
       since November 2022.
       Pizzuto was sentenced to death in 1986 for the July 25, 1985,
       murders of Berta and Del Herndon in Idaho County. According to
       the Idaho Supreme Court, Pizzuto's accomplices testified that
       Pizzuto went to rob the Herndon's, bound their hands, and hit
       them in the head with a hammer.
       "Pizzuto should serve the punishment the court sentenced him to
       in 1986. He has tried and failed for 37 years to change the
       outcome of his trial and sentence," Idaho Attorney General Raul
       Labrador said in a news release announcing that his office had
       obtained a new death warrant. "The Idaho Supreme Court has
       denied him relief eight times, The Ninth Circuit (U.S. Court of
       Appeals) has reviewed his case three times. Additionally, the
       U.S. Supreme court has denied hearing this case six times."
       Pizzuto was previously scheduled for execution on Dec. 15, 2022,
       by lethal injection. However, the execution was called off
       because Idaho Department of Correction has not been able to
       require the necessary chemicals.
       "We hope the Legislature will also consider giving the State an
       alternative method of execution," Labrador said.
