Caz fără precedent în SUA. Christa Pike, condamnată la moarte, a supraviețuit după două injecții letale • Newsweek România

Christa Pike, sentenced to death in Tennessee, survived after two lethal injections, raising questions about execution protocols. She regained consciousness six days later, but her prognosis remains uncertain. Medical experts are investigating why the pentobarbital did not lead to death, as it typically would. Pike's case is unprecedented, with previous failed executions usually involving improper administration of lethal substances. Authorities have not decided on a new execution attempt, and the governor has suspended all executions until the end of the year. Pike's medical condition complicates matters, as she suffers from a blood clotting disorder and has small veins, which could have contributed to the failed execution.
