After testifying that a young nurse was sane enough for execution, a forensic psychiatrist begins to unravel during a late-night interrogation that seems to bend reality itself.

Stephen A. Smith can't wrap his head around Tennessee rushing Christa Pike to the hospital after her execution failed. SMITH: “That seems a bit CRAZY and BACKWARDS to me!” “You were trying to execute her. So just go ahead and DO IT.” Pike was sentenced to death for the 1995 torture murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville. She cut her throat with a box cutter, carved a pentagram into her chest, crushed her skull with a chunk of asphalt, and kept a piece of the skull as a trophy. But the execution stopped because two full rounds of lethal injection drugs failed to kill her, and the state had no protocol for a third. Pike was rushed to the hospital, and she’s now on a ventilator. Smith wanted to know why they didn’t finish the job. Legal analyst Ryan Smith had an answer. Stephen A. wasn’t satisfied: STEPHEN A. SMITH: “Forgive me for asking this question, but it doesn’t seem to make any sense to me. Why is somebody going to the hospital when the objective was to kill her? To execute her, could you make sense out of that for me?” RYAN SMITH: “Yeah, a couple different reasons. First, we don’t want to subject people. There’s an Eighth Amendment in this country, which is we don’t want to subject people to cruel and unusual punishment... That’s not quite how we work in terms of carrying out the death penalty. You want to make sure someone is there of sound mind...” STEPHEN A. SMITH: “But if they were of sound mind at the time that the execution was trying to be performed and that is what ended up debilitating them to some degree, I guess my thinking is well you were trying to execute her, so just go ahead and do it.” “As opposed to, 'Oh well, we didn’t do a great enough job of it. And we may have damaged her along the way while she’s still alive,' and because of that, that now gives them an excuse to stop the execution, and it doesn’t take place at all. That seems to be a bit crazy and backwards to me.”
