Tennessee inmate Christa Pike survived two doses of pentobarbital during a lethal injection on Wednesday, prompting Governor Bill Lee to halt executions and order an independent review. Pike, 50, is hospitalized and receiving life-saving care. The failure has renewed scrutiny of botched executions, with 64 recorded since 1982, 51 involving lethal injections.
