Tennessee inmate Christa Pike survives lethal injection execution attempt

Christa Pike, convicted of murdering a classmate three decades ago, survived Tennessee’s attempt to execute her by lethal injection, according to prison officials. She was taken to a hospital after the procedure, with her condition unknown. The execution was halted after two doses of pentobarbital were administered, and Governor Bill Lee ordered a third-party review, suspending remaining scheduled executions for the year.
