Christa Pike, a death row inmate, is in critical condition after two lethal injections failed to end her life.
Christa Pike, a woman on death row, remains in critical condition after two attempts to administer lethal injection failed. She is reportedly unconscious and reliant on a ventilator. The circumstances surrounding the failed executions have drawn renewed attention to her case.
Pike was convicted of murder in 1996, a sentence that has since been debated given her history of sexual abuse and diagnosed bipolar disorder. The repeated failures in executing her raise questions about the efficacy and humanity of capital punishment in the United States.
