Tennessee's botched execution of Christa Pike draws outrage
Original: christina pike
Tennessee attempted to execute Christa Pike, the state's first female execution in about 200 years, after the US Supreme Court declined to block it. Witnesses and her lawyers say the execution was halted when she was still alive, reportedly snoring after two doses of lethal drugs, and attorneys describe her suffering 'agony'. She remains alive and is receiving medical care, prompting scrutiny of the state's lethal injection procedure.
Why now: A rare execution of a woman in the US went wrong, with reports she survived the initial lethal injection attempt.
