Christa Pike Survived Her Execution Attempt. What Happens Now?
-
Narrated by:

Written by:
Christa Pike was supposed to die this morning.
She didn’t.
Tennessee attempted to carry out her execution, but the execution was halted after the state was unable to establish IV access. Now Pike remains on death row, and Tennessee is facing a question almost nobody expected to be asking today: can they try to execute her again?
In this breaking update, we’re talking about what happened inside the execution chamber, what Tennessee has said about executions moving forward, what could happen next for Christa Pike, and the much larger questions this raises about the death penalty.
Because whatever you believe about Christa Pike and what she did, there is something deeply unsettling about a system designed to carry out the ultimate punishment failing after the process has already begun.
This is a developing story.
