Juíza ordena preservação de provas da execução malsucedida

Uma juíza do estado do Tennessee, nos EUA, determinou que sejam preservadas todas as provas relacionadas à execução malsucedida de Christa Pike, incluindo os itens que estavam na sala de execução, como linhas intravenosas e seringas. Pike, condenada à morte pelo assassinato de Colleen Slemmer em 1995, sobreviveu a duas injeções letais em 30 de setembro e permanece internada em estado grave, segundo seu advogado, Randy Spivey.

A judge in the US state of Tennessee has ruled officials must preserve all evidence related to the failed execution of Christa Pike. Judge Myles ordered that "anything that was in the actual room needs to be preserved and maintained," including IV lines and syringes, as well as waste, like packaging, inserts, and labels. She also advised the state to take "special care" not to misplace or accidentally delete any information that may be pertinent to the case. Pike, who was sentenced to death after murdering Colleen Slemmer with her then-boyfriend in 1995, survived two lethal injections on 30 September. Her Lawyer Randy Spivey says he was told Pike was brain dead on Monday, and it was expected that she would have her life support machine turned off on Tuesday, but instead she woke up and began speaking. Pike remains in hospital, where she is receiving critical medical care and is being restrained at her hands and feet.
