Witnesses detail horror of Tennessee woman’s botched execution: ‘None of it was normal’

Witnesses in the chamber said Christa Pike was still breathing despite receiving injections intended to kill her

When the prison warden asked Christa Pike if she had any last words, she said she was going to leave this world “with love” for those on her side and also the ones angry with her.

What followed was the second botched execution in Tennessee this year, after two doses of the lethal injection failed to produce the desired effect.
