Christa Pike in critical condition after Tennessee botched execution, lawyer says

A condemned female murderer who survived two lethal injections during a botched execution by the US state of Tennessee is in critical condition and receiving "life-saving care," her lawyer said on Thursday. In an extraordinary chain of events, Christa Pike, 50, was whisked from a prison execution chamber to a hospital on Wednesday night, still alive despite two deadly doses of pentobarbital. "What we have been told is that she is in critical condition, receiving life-saving care," Randy Spivey said in a virtual news conference on Thursday afternoon, declining to provide further details. He urged Governor Bill Lee, who had denied a clemency request earlier in the week, to scrap Pike's death sentence.
