Pike’s lawyers said she is back in same prison she’s lived in for last 30 years and will continue to receive medical care
Christa Pike has been discharged from the hospital after surviving Tennessee’s botched 30 September attempt to execute her by lethal injection and is back in prison, her lawyers said on Saturday.
Saturday’s update about Pike came 10 days after the death row prisoner was given two doses of pentobarbital, a lethal injection drug, in what proved to be a failed execution attempt. She was hospitalized after surviving the botched execution and was declared brain dead on Monday.
But in a shocking turnaround, on Thursday her lawyer said that she was “up and walking” – though she remained “somewhat foggy” and wasn’t able to use her arms very much.
Pike said that her arms were burning during the failed execution and asked if it was supposed to feel that way. Witnesses present in the chamber said that “nothing was normal” while officials have maintained that they followed every step of Tennessee’s approved execution protocol.
We as in humanity, have extemists or other peoples that chain innocent people in suicide cars and other such horrible crimes to hurt others and kill. People do this to kids, senior citizens, various places across the globe. Some of these people we entrust to care for our people. Our loved ones. Elderly, kids, hospitals, daily life situations. Sorry but those people are evil and I do not want to sit beside them and or have them cook my food. We are together as humanity, not for crimes against humanity.
