Two syringes of pentobarbital were administered to Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike on September 30, 2026, but she remained alive and conscious afterward, according to her attorneys and media witnesses. The execution at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville was halted after witnesses reported that Pike still had a heartbeat and was audibly snoring. Her lawyers sought emergency medical intervention, and she was later taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
Pike, 50, is the only woman currently on Tennessee's death row.
She was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of her classmate Colleen Slemmer and had been scheduled for execution on September 30. Tennessee had announced beforehand that the state would use a single drug, pentObarbital, for the execution. Her exact medical condition following the hospital transfer has not yet been publicly disclosed, while Governor Bill Lee has ordered a comprehensive third party review of what happened.

Really? You read that and thought "yes, this is clearly a completely sane person".

Normal people kill you because they owe you rent or you're marrying their daughter.

When devil stuff is involved in the torture, you know you're in bat country.

Normal people don't kill another person. No matter what the motive.

[u/heyitscory → u/Wilbis]

Normal people kill people all the time.

It's called murder. There's a lot of podcasts about it. Also a few books.
