Amnesty urges Tennessee to commute Christa Pike death sentence

Original: After botched execution attempt, Tennessee must commute Christa Pike’s death sentence as a first step

Amnesty International is calling on Tennessee to commute the death sentence of Christa Pike, the only woman on the state's death row, following a botched execution attempt. The human rights group argues the failed execution underscores the cruelty of capital punishment and says clemency must be the first step, urging state officials to halt the death penalty in her case.

Why now: A botched execution attempt has renewed scrutiny of Tennessee's death penalty and prompted rights groups to demand clemency.
