🚨 CHRISTA PIKE REMAINS HOSPITALIZED AFTER FAILED TENNESSEE EXECUTION
Her attorneys said in a court filing Friday that she was unconscious and on a machine helping her breathe.
They said hospital staff were working to save her life and clear the pentobarbital from her system as of late Thursday.
Randy Spivey said the execution team worked for an hour to administer the lethal drugs and counted at least seven needles in Pike’s left arm.
