American death row inmate Christa Pike is unconscious and on a ventilator after a botched execution attempt, according to her lawyers. Pike, convicted of a 1995 murder in Tennessee, was scheduled to die in the electric chair. Details about what went wrong during the procedure remain limited, and her legal team is releasing the information publicly. The case is likely to renew debate over execution methods in the United States.
