Tennessee governor stops executions after Pike survives lethal injection
Tennessee officials were unable to execute Christa Pike for a 1995 murder after administering two doses of lethal injection, leaving her alive and hospitalized. The state halted the execution, citing an unprecedented failure in the process, and Governor Bill Lee announced a review while postponing all executions for the year. Pike, who was 18 at the time, would have been the first woman executed in Tennessee in over 200 years, but her death was prevented due to medical complications during the procedure.
