Execution attempt in Tennessee: American woman probably conscious after failed execution

A week after the failed execution in the US state of Tennessee, the lawyers of the US American Christa Pike, who was sentenced to death, speak of her client's state of confusion. There were moments when she drifted off for a while, said Pike's attorney, Randy Spivey. Accordingly, she is “still very cognitively confused.” “Where am I and who are you?” she asked when she woke up.

However, Pike was aware that the state had tried to execute her. Spivey said his client was "angry and confused" at the moment.

Pike was given two doses of the toxic drug pentobarbital last Wednesday evening. She was supposed to be executed - but she survived. After being ventilated in a hospital in the Nashville area, the American regained consciousness on Tuesday, according to her lawyers.
