What specific complications occurred during the attempted execution of Christa Pike in Tennessee?
During the attempt on Wednesday night, 50-year-old Christa Pike survived two doses of the lethal injection drug pentobarbital. Her attorneys reported that the execution team used at least seven needles to find a vein, and Pike complained of intense pain while developing blisters and burns around the injection site. Medical experts suggested these details indicate the IV may not have been properly connected, meaning the drug might not have entered her bloodstream directly.
