Christa Pike recibe el alta en el hospital y es trasladada de nuevo a prisión
Los abogados afirman en un comunicado que su clienta, que sobrevivió a una ejecución en Tennessee, seguirá recibiendo cuidados médicos en la cárcel
Christa Pike, a 50-year-old inmate on death row in Tennessee, has been discharged from hospital and returned to prison after a botched execution attempt. According to her lawyers, she is continuing to receive medical care at the prison. Pike survived two lethal injections of pentobarbital on September 30, which left her in a critical condition.
She had been in hospital for over a week, during which time she regained consciousness and began speaking, stunning experts, medical staff, and her lawyers. Her lawyers have expressed gratitude to the first responders and medical team for their care. Pike was 18 when she and her then-boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp, committed a murder.
The state of Tennessee's next steps in her case are unclear, with a court hearing having taken place where the judge ordered the state to preserve all evidence related to the failed execution. According to the BBC News, Tennessee Assistant Attorney General Will Ayers stated that it is unknown whether the state intends to reschedule Pike's execution.
