Christa Pike trasladada al hospital tras sobrevivir a una ejecución, según su abogado | BBC News

Según un reportaje de BBC News, la presa del corredor de la muerte de Tennessee Christa Pike fue llevada al hospital tras seguir con vida después de dos inyecciones letales, según su abogado. Su equipo legal había presentado una moción de urgencia para detener la ejecución, y el estado de Tennessee aún no había hecho comentarios.

Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike has been taken to hospital after she was still alive following two lethal injections during her execution, her lawyer says. Her legal team filed an emergency motion to halt the execution as it was happening, saying: "Ms Pike has lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat and is audibly snoring." One of her attorneys told the BBC that Pike, 50, was "being provided life-saving measures" in hospital after two syringes of pentobarbital had been administered. There has been no comment yet from the state of Tennessee. Pike was sentenced to death in 1996 for the murder of Colleen Slemmer.
