Christa Pike released from hospital, back in prison following botched execution in Tennessee, lawyers say
Her lawyers said she remains under medical care after surviving two doses of pentobarbital in a failed lethal-injection attempt.
- On Saturday, Christa Pike was discharged from the hospital and returned to prison following her botched lethal injection execution attempt last month in Tennessee, her attorneys confirmed.
- Pike survived two doses of a lethal injection drug during the September 30 execution attempt, carried out for her 1995 conviction in the murder of classmate Colleen Slemmer.
- Attorneys Stephen Ferrell, Luke Ihnen, Randy Spivey, and Kelly Gleason reported Thursday that Pike is walking "with some assistance" and her arms are "healing and regaining movement and strength."
- A judge ordered the Tennessee Department of Corrections to preserve all evidence related to the failed procedure, which attorneys discussed at a Nashville news conference on Wednesday.
- According to the Death Penalty Information Center, Pike remains the only person known to have survived an execution attempt in the United States after more than 30 years of incarceration.
