Christa Pike hospitalised after botched two-injection execution attempt
Original: Death row inmate Christa Pike taken to hospital 'still alive' after two lethal injections https:// web.brid.gy/r/https:/
Death row inmate Christa Pike was rushed to hospital and is reported still alive after an execution attempt in the United States in which two lethal injections failed to kill her. The botched procedure has reignited debate over the reliability of lethal injection and the conduct of capital punishment in Tennessee, where Pike is the state's only female death row inmate.
Why now: The rare failed execution attempt has prompted fresh scrutiny of lethal injection methods and capital punishment in the US.
