Christa Pike says she still suffers after botched lethal injection
Christa Pike, the Tennessee inmate who survived a botched lethal injection, said she continues to endure constant physical and emotional pain while held in solitary confinement at the Debra Johnson Rehabilitation Center, and her lawyers have asked that her death sentence be commuted. Pike had earlier told reporters she was in constant pain a month after the failed execution, and Tennessee officials announced a halt to all executions through the end of the year while an independent review of the incident proceeds.
