Tennessee's attempted execution of Christa Pike, the state's only female death-row inmate, did not go as planned, leaving her case suspended between life and death as officials and courts confront what went wrong. The New York Times reports on how the botched procedure has reignited debate over capital punishment and whether her sentence should be carried out or commuted.
Why now: A botched execution of a high-profile death-row inmate has renewed attention on the death penalty in Tennessee.
