Failed execution of Christa Pike draws renewed attention
Original: What happened in failed execution of Christa Pike - and what next? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckge4eql4q7eo?at_
Tennessee's attempt to execute Christa Pike, the state's only female death row inmate, did not go ahead as planned, and the BBC examines what went wrong and what could happen next. Pike was sentenced to death in 1996 for the murder of fellow student Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville. Attention is now on the state's next steps and the future of her case.
Why now: A botched or halted execution in a decades-old death penalty case naturally prompts questions about what happened and what follows.
