@crimejunkiepodcast: Why is Christa Pike being kept alive after surviving two doses during Wednesday’s botched execution? It’s ignited a firestorm of questions and debate online, so @Briana Whitney did some research and here’s what’s going on…

Toyota tacoma 3D :

How do people not realize, when you're taken to the hospital, it is the medical professionals duty to do everything to save you regardless of the other circumstances of a death sentence

crasnick :

she has a working iv now

gr33nashleo :

She clearly didn’t survive the execution she’s only breathing bc they intervened ! She clearly died at some point !

bgat19703eo :

Doctors aren’t ethically allowed to let someone die in order to carry out a death sentence

Belinda :

I’d be interested to know if her auburn hair color (a potential that she carries the MC1R gene mutation) had anything to do with the fact that the amount of medication injected didn’t kill her. As a redhead who requires more anesthesia and pain meds, I am just curious if that may have impacted her execution.

Dryoh :

She gonna sue there ass if she lives.

Shannon Nichol :

She's going to somehow survive this and I doubt they will re issue it. She's going to sue or her family will sue the state and she'll make millions off of this!

Just Me :

She should have just laid on that table tell she died. Suffer in hell!

imalittleteapot00 :

Vengeance belongs to God not man

Kailey :

Who is placing these IV’s? I heard someone say it couldn’t be dr’s or nurses bc of the hippocratic oath? I guess I could probably google this, but like, anyone? Bc from what I’ve read it sounds like her IV wasn’t in the vein, IV meds don’t burn or hurt and she said her arm was burning. That would make me think it wasn’t placed correctly.

Kimber 🌋 Washington :

When you get a warrant for a death sentence and get your death date. The warrant itself is only good until midnight of that day.

java.lang.NullPointerException :

How tf do you mess up an IV?

David 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 :

Once she leaves prison and is in the care of hospital staff she is no longer owned by the state, hospital staff have a legal duty to save her regardless of her past life choices, she’s no longer in the care of the prison

LW :

There is only one God judgement day for all of us 🙏 Just my opinion this crazy

Hermione.Gangsta :

If they commute her sentence to time served, does that shift her medical costs from the state to the individual?? Or would she still be a prisoner just no longer a death row inmate?

ellellxox :

As a doctor myself I give up trying to explain this to people. You think we just murder people in the hospital because the prison system wants us to…? What do you think we are.

paulackq5r5❌ :

To have to take the oath to take care of every patient that comes in the door, no matter what their circumstances are and what they have done. Patient care comes first.

jrog33 :

Bad infiltrated vein. IV blew

Michael Pants :

This is so sad. I really hope this is the beginning of the end of the death sentence. A life sentence really should be enough. It's really sick to feel that torturing a person is justice.

📌Caffeinated widowed_warrior❌ :

It’sMeJenny :

Step 1. Train people how to properly insert an IV.

Gil Lucia Trujillo :

What happens if they cannot get her off the vent?

Cold-Winter 🇨🇦 :

well she didnt carve the symbol.

canada 1 :

She will sue

MrsHerrd :

They didn’t follow their own protocol then, because they didn’t use a new set of syringes. They just injected the second dose in the same line.
