Pike survived a lethal injection execution on Wednesday. She was sentenced to death for the 1995 killing of her classmate, Colleen Slemmer.
Christa Pike, the woman who survived an execution attempt in Tennessee earlier this week, is on a ventilator as she receives care in the hospital, her lawyers said in a new statement Friday.
“Christa remains critically ill and is receiving medical care for the devastating effects of Wednesday night’s events,” the lawyers’ statement said. “She is critically ill, unconscious, intubated and receiving breathing assistance through a ventilator.”
The statement said she is being treated for “the serious effects of the pentobarbital administered during the execution attempt, including significant injuries to both arms.”
It’s so wild to see the discussions around this - mostly about trying to revert to more “humane” ways of killing someone, when the very obvious thing here is to stop killing people?
And then there are the bloodthirsty types that seem to be everywhere talking about “how dare you talk about this, how much did you even see liberals showing any empathy for her victim but now they are all bleeding-hearts about a killer? Liberals just love criminals and death!” Talk about a strawman, JFC?
