Christa Pike Unconscious on Ventilator After Failed Execution, Lawyers Say
Christa Pike, the only woman on Tennesseeās death row and one of the most closely watched capital cases in the United States, was left unconscious and on a ventilator after a failed execution attempt, according to her lawyers. As of Thursday night, she remained critically ill and was being treated at a hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. The case has renewed scrutiny of lethal injection procedures, prison medical oversight, and the legal and ethical stakes surrounding capital punishment.
