@dailymail: “Against all odds, Christa Pike is conscious, speaking, and continues to receive critical medical care," according to her lawyers following a botched execution attempt by the state of Tennessee last week. "Despite the severe damage she endured to her arms, she is still handcuffed and shackled to the bed. Her recovery is medically unprecedented." Pike was to become the first woman executed in Tennessee in 200 years for a murder she committed when she was a teenager, but she survived at least seven needles as medical staff attempted to give her two lethal doses of pentobarbital that left her arms 'swollen, burned, and blistered,' her attorneys previously revealed. #christapike #news #breakingnews
