Christa Pike conscious after botched Tennessee execution, lawyers say
Original: tennessee
Lawyers say Christa Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row, is conscious and speaking after a botched execution attempt in the state. The development has renewed attention on Tennessee's lethal injection protocols and broader questions about the death penalty in the United States, with civil rights and abolition groups pressing for scrutiny of what went wrong.
Why now: A failed execution of a death row inmate is a rare and legally significant event raising fresh questions about the death penalty.
