US death row inmate Christa Pike taken to hospital after surviving two lethal injections, says lawyer
Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike has been taken to the hospital after she was still alive following two lethal injections during her execution, her lawyer says.
The US Supreme Court has allowed the execution of Christa Pike to proceed. This comes after a federal appeals court had halted the execution in Tennessee just hours before it was set to take place. The Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling means Pike will be the first woman to be executed in the state in over two centuries.
