The lone woman on Tennessee’s death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said “executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals” and Christa Pike was “still alive and snoring,” her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike “has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat” and that curtains to the death chamber “have gone down twice.”
I read once about someone suggesting that a volunteer who was willing to die for his country would carry the nuclear codes imbedded inside his chest. in order to launch thebl president would have to stab him in order to he the codes out to launch a nuclear strike. This way they would have to really evaluate whether it was worth it or not to take so many lives.
It was immediately shot down for being barbaric and horrendous and how could someone suggest such a thing!
