Authorities in the US state of Tennessee failed to complete the execution of 50-year-old Christy Pike, convicted of murdering a classmate in 1995. After two lethal injections were administered, she remained alive and was subsequently taken to a hospital. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
The execution was accompanied by complications. After the injections were administered, Pike complained of pain, snored, and repeatedly kicked her legs. Media representatives present stated that the execution did not proceed according to the planned procedure. The convicted woman's lawyers claim that the authorities were unable to carry out the sentence. ta3.com ↗
The execution was originally suspended for several hours by a federal appeals court approximately an hour before its scheduled start. The judges wanted to examine whether Pike's claims of sexual abuse and rape had been taken into account when the sentence was imposed. The Supreme Court ultimately allowed the sentence to be carried out. hnonline.sk ↗
Pike committed the murder in January 1995, when she was 18 years old. Her victim was 19-year-old classmate Colleen Slemmer from a school in Knoxville. Pike committed the act together with her then-boyfriend and was sentenced to death for the murder. teraz.sk ↗
She was originally supposed to be the first woman executed in Tennessee since 1820, that is, in over 200 years. However, following the failed execution, it remains unclear what further steps the authorities and courts will take. Authorities did not provide further details about Pike's condition after she was taken to the hospital. lidovky.cz ↗
