The execution of Christa Pike, a murderer sentenced to death, failed, and she is currently fighting for her life in the hospital after a lethal injection attempt in Tennessee. Pike, 50, remains unconscious and on a ventilator four days after the state of Tennessee was unable to execute her with a lethal dose. Her attorney, Stephen Ferrell, told the Associated Press that doctors are working to remove the large dose of pentobarbital administered to Pike from her system. The failed execution raises questions about the protocol and drugs used in Tennessee’s death penalty process. The incident occurred despite warnings from an anesthesiologist. Pike was convicted of murder and sentenced to death. Her current condition remains critical.
