Original: Christa Pike’s execution by lethal injection fails in Tennessee
Christa Pike's execution by lethal injection did not go ahead in Tennessee, according to Al Jazeera. Pike, the only woman on the state's death row, was convicted of a 1995 murder. Details on why the procedure failed and Pike's current status were not provided, and officials have not yet commented publicly on what went wrong.
Why now: A failed execution of a high-profile death row inmate is a rare event that raises questions about lethal injection protocols.
