Court filing details Christa Pike execution complications
Original: pentobarbital
A court filing cited by The Tennessean claims Christa Pike was unconscious, burned and intubated during her execution in Tennessee, drawing fresh attention to the state's use of pentobarbital in lethal injections. Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row, was convicted of the 1995 murder of fellow student Colleen Slemmer. The filing has reignited debate over lethal injection methods and execution secrecy.
Why now: Christa Pike's execution involved pentobarbital, and a new court filing alleging complications is fueling debate over Tennessee's lethal injection protocol.
