Christa Pike remains critically ill after two failed execution attempts, renewing scrutiny of Tennessee's lethal injection process and sparking debate over the death penalty

The only debate is hanging vs shooting.

Veterinarians never have this problem.

Her boyfriend (aged 17) at the time reportedly carved the pentagram in the victim's chest and got life with the possibility of parole. The other female involved got probation.

The victim’s family deserves justice and lasting support. The state also has a duty to treat prisoners humanely. Supporting a lawful sentence doesn’t mean ignoring suffering or excusing failures in how it’s carried out. I’ll keep praying for repentance while there is still time.

Their PROCESS? This looks like sabotage. We have … 22,000 lbs of fentanyl sitting around. There have only EVER been 2 failed executions by lethal injection. It’s not the process, it’s someone on the inside of that process.

Have they tried unplugging the ventilator?

ONE BULLET NEXT.

Ridiculous. They need to try again immediately. Her hospital stay is costing us more money.

Finish the job. #capitalpunishment is the way

Pull the plug on her. Problem solved.

Yeah this was the Hope all along

The French never missed

Well , shit she’s in the hospital slready, send the execution crew back in to finish practicing.

the state really sat there and let her fail twice instead of just admitting the whole system is a joke

Pike denied Colleen Slemmer any access to healthcare after slamming a piece of pavement into her head, shattering Colleen's skull. Colleen was dead then.

Morphine would help.

She was sentenced to death. That's pretty much the definition of critically ill

That was the idea , Turk off the machines and let her die , wtf 🤬

Try an old school method: guillotine?

Pull the plug, she'll die, mission accomplished. The only debate here is why we take so long to carry out the sentence, and why we make it so complicated.

I agree with the pastor on this.

Switch the ventilator off.

The guillotine never failed
