Death row inmate Christa Pike survives botched lethal injection execution attempt in Tennessee

Christa Pike, 50, survived a botched execution attempt in Tennessee after receiving two doses of pentobarbital, remaining hospitalized and unconscious on a ventilator. Witnesses reported she was still moving and making noise when the execution chamber was closed, and her lawyers described the process as torturous and predictable due to her small veins. Pike was sentenced to death in 1996 for the 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer when she was 18. Tennessee has paused executions after two botched attempts this year, including Pike’s and Tony Carruthers’, with legal experts noting a second execution attempt remains possible.
