Tennessee prisons chief resigns after failed execution of Christa Pike

Original: tennessee

Tennessee's correction commissioner is stepping down after the state's attempt to execute Christa Pike failed, leaving her unconscious and on a ventilator, according to her attorneys. Governor Bill Lee announced the resignation. The botched lethal injection has drawn renewed scrutiny of how Tennessee carries out executions.

Why now: The failed execution and immediate resignation raise fresh questions about the competence of Tennessee's death penalty procedures.
