Tennessee Fails to Execute Christa Pike After Lethal Injection Attempt

Tennessee officials failed to execute Christa Pike, 50, on Wednesday after administering two doses of pentobarbital. The Supreme Court had cleared the way by overturning a lower court stay, but the execution was not completed. Pike, convicted of a 1995 murder, was taken to hospital. She would have been Tennessee's first woman executed in over 200 years.
