Tennessee Judge Orders Emergency Preservation of Evidence After Botched Lethal Injection Leaves Christa Pike Hospitalized
A Tennessee chancery judge has ordered the state Department of Correction to preserve all physical materials, logs, and electronic communications connected to the botched September 30 execution of Christa Pike. The 50 year old death row inmate survived two doses of lethal pentobarbital and regained consciousness in critical condition after days on a ventilator. The ruling sets up a high stakes constitutional challenge over execution protocols while state executions remain suspended through year end.
