Death row inmate Christa Pike’s lawyers give an update after they revealed that she was awake and speaking following Tennessee’s attempt to execute her.
“Against all odds, Christa Pike is conscious, speaking, and continues to receive critical medical care,” they said.
“Despite the severe damage she endured to her arms, she is still handcuffed and shackled to the bed. Her recovery is medically unprecedented.
“Her prognosis remains unclear but, at a minimum, we expect a long recovery."
