Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike hospitalized after failed execution

Original: Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike receiving medical care after failed execution

Christa Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row, is receiving medical care after a failed execution attempt in the state. Officials have not released full details on how the procedure went wrong or on her current condition, and questions are mounting over the conduct of the execution and Tennessee's lethal injection protocols.

Why now: A botched execution of the state's only female death row inmate has sparked intense public and legal scrutiny of Tennessee's capital punishment system.
