The UN's top human rights official has launched a scathing attack after Christa Pike's execution in the United States went wrong, calling it botched. Pike, the only woman on death row in Tennessee, was condemned for the 1995 murder of fellow student Colleen Slemmer. The UN criticism has intensified debate in the US over the use of the death penalty.

Why now: A botched execution drawing rare public condemnation from the UN human rights chief has reignited scrutiny of America's death penalty.
