Christa Pike « en colère et confuse » après une exécution ratée, selon son avocat | BBC News

BBC News rapporte que Christa Pike, détenue dans le couloir de la mort, a survécu à une tentative d'exécution ratée. Ses avocats décrivent son état et la conservation de preuves ordonnée par le tribunal.

Following an emergency court hearing on Wednesday, Christa Pike’s lawyers said preserving evidence from her failed execution was just the first step in a long legal battle after the 50-year-old death row inmate survived an execution attempt last week. The judge ordered the state to preserve a broad range of physical evidence such as IVs and syringes – as well as all communications and surveillance video. Her lawyers said it was necessary for transparency – and that the public should not simply take the state’s word about what happened. The night before Pike woke up and began speaking, her lawyers said they believed she was brain dead and were told life support would be removed the next day. She woke up "angry and confused", they said, asking "where am I?". Her recovery, they added, will be a long road. It’s unclear if she’ll regain function of her arms which they say are extremely swollen.
