Original: Tennessee Court Orders Officials to Preserve Evidence from Failed Execution of Christa Pike, As She Regains Consciousness
A Tennessee court has ordered state officials to preserve all evidence connected to the failed execution of Christa Pike, who regained consciousness after the procedure was halted.

The order comes as questions mount over what went wrong during the process and whether a new execution date should proceed.
