Execuție eșuată în statul Tennessee. O femeie condamnată la moarte a supraviețuit injecției letale

Christa Pike's execution in Tennessee was halted after she survived two doses of pentobarbital, raising questions about the state's lethal injection protocol. This was the first attempt to execute a woman in over 200 years in the state. Witnesses reported that Pike remained conscious and responsive during the procedure, which lasted longer than expected. Following the failed execution, Pike was taken to a hospital, and her legal team expressed concerns about the execution process. The Tennessee Department of Corrections stated that the legal protocol was followed, while the governor has temporarily suspended all executions pending an investigation. Pike has been on death row since 1996 for the murder of Colleen Slemmer in 1995.
