@cbsnews: A media witness described the confusion surrounding Christa Pike’s attempted execution in Tennessee, saying the process was “pretty unprecedented” and “wasn’t planned for.” As an ambulance later left the prison with its sirens on, the witness said: “We can presume that there was somebody alive in that, but we don’t know.” Pike was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer. Court records say Slemmer was beaten and repeatedly cut with a box cutter and meat cleaver over a 30-to-45-minute attack before her head was struck with a rock or piece of asphalt. A pentagram was also carved into her body while she was still alive. Pike received two doses of pentobarbital, but officials were unable to complete the execution. #tennessee #crime #trial #news
I thought if you were put to death and it didnt work, you were taken off.death row or released or something. I swear id seen or heard this before with rhe electric chair 💺 in the past? or is it only of their heart stops and they come back on their own? so, like, she didnt die, so not the same?

I think her lawyers or someone gave her something to restrict her veins she already has small veins and that was what the initial pause was about. I think this was a hail Mary pass that was caught. I don't believe this was happenstance
