An hour before Christa Gail Pike execution in Tennessee it was stopped for now

[AlexO]

Was she restrained on her hospital bed all this time they were trying to save her life after the disaster they put her though, this sounds mean. Where did they think was she going to go in that condition?

Unbelievable put a guard outside her room not tie her down when she is in a critical life threatening situation.

God wants her to live

If they try and execute her again, that could be challenged under the Double Jeopardy law. Double Jeopardy states that you cannot be tried or punished for the same crime twice

Totally agree. I think the big question is what are they going to do to her now ?? If they bring her back to life simply to execute her again then there will be all kinds of legal battles for things like cruel and unusual punishment, effective torture etc. Add to that the fact that she is a woman and has the world's sympathy right now then the political backlash would be huge

The world has seen this one and that might work in her favor, they might give her a new sentence say life in prison, who knows. I do not see her being put through another try at killing her.

I just saw this update on Christa Pike. I really hope they let her live and not try another time to kill her.



"Christa Pike, the woman whose execution by lethal injection was botched last month in Tennessee, has been released from the hospital and is now back in prison, according to her lawyers.

She has been transferred back to Deborah K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center in Nashville, where she had been held before her planned execution on Sept. 30.

"Christa Pike was discharged from a local hospital and is now at Deborah K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center where she has been housed for more than 30 years," her attorneys, Stephen Ferrell, Luke Ihnen, Randy Spivey and Kelly Gleason, said in a statement Saturday. "She is grateful to the first responders and her medical team for their care in these extraordinary circumstances. She is continuing to receive medical care at the prison, and we will continue to track her recovery."

Pike, 50, was given two doses of a lethal injection drug, but her legal team confirmed shortly after the failed procedure that, in an unprecedented turn, she was alive and had been hospitalized. Her legal team said on Tuesday that she had regained consciousness and was speaking from her hospital bed.

On Wednesday, Pike began "taking limited steps" with help, according to her team. And on Thursday, her attorneys detailed more progress, saying in a statement that she was walking "with some assistance" and her arms were "healing and regaining movement and strength." They also said that her "lungs are clear, and she has started to eat a regular diet."

Pike is the only person known to have survived an execution attempt in the U.S., according to the Death Penalty Information Center."

Knowing this administration, they will probably try and kill her again, live stream it on prime time TV and then announce it as the winning act on America's Got Talent

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee can make one call commute her death sentence and be the right decision.

[urbanlegend]

If there is a god she will be let go free.

[T.B.W]

How come there are not more people in the news talking about this.Especially celebrities.

[TheButcher]

Jesus read this story, it took responders more than half an hour to reach her after he failed execution.

Does she have an online support group and petition fighting for a commutation, if she does not then some one has to step up start one.

What is in her future will she go free or be put to death?

FREE Christa Gail now

[calista]

You think they will make a movie about her or is it too shocking a story to be turned into one.

From what I saw, her boyfriend got life imprisonment because he was only 17 and legally couldn't be put to death but she was 18 and so they gave her the death penalty
