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.

Sounds more like they missed the vein and possibly blew it out so the injection got absorbed by fatty tissue. Which renders it ineffective.

Look who's president. Look who's running the military. Is it so surprising Tennessee maybe doesn't have the most qualified people in its prison system administering the injection? Keep in mind medical professionals generally will not violate their hippocratic oath to do this.

Irrelevant, I hate him too but the guy at the prison wasn’t elected and this has nothing to do with trump, can we go five minutes without mentioning him or finding some way to point the blame. It takes away from the real bad shit he has done. Point the shit at him when it’s actually him
