A woman convicted of murder in the US state of Tennessee has been taken to hospital after surviving two doses of lethal injection drugs in a failed execution attempt, several media outlets reported Thursday, citing her lawyers and media witnesses.
Christa Pike, 50, was sentenced to death for the 1995 torture and murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, a fellow Job Corps student in Knoxville. If carried out normally, Pike’s execution, scheduled for Wednesday, would have been the first execution of a woman in Tennessee in more than 200 years.
Prosecutors said Pike and her boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp, lured Slemmer to a wooded area. Pike beat and cut Slemmer with a box cutter, while Shipp, who was 17 at the time, admitted carving a pentagram into her body. While Pike received the death penalty, Shipp was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
Pike did not lose consciousness after two syringes of pentobarbital were administered, her attorneys said in emergency legal filings seen by the New York Times. She still had a heartbeat, they said, and was audibly snoring.
According to her lawyers, as cited by the newspaper, Pike was later taken to a nearby hospital, although they did not know her condition. Tennessee officials reportedly confirmed to a federal judge later that day that Pike was receiving medical care.
AP cited media witnesses as saying that Pike remained conscious after the injection was administered and at one point asked prison officials about a sensation in her arm. She continued to be heard snoring behind the closed curtain before media witnesses were escorted out.
Pike was initially scheduled to be executed in the morning, but a federal appeals court issued a temporary stay to consider her lawyers’ claims that her history of childhood sexual abuse and neglect had not been adequately presented at sentencing. The US Supreme Court later lifted the obstacle, allowing Tennessee to proceed with the execution that evening.
Commenting on the apparent failure to carry out an execution, the Tennessee Department of Correction stated that it “had followed every step of the state’s lawful, established execution protocol approved by the attorney general’s office.”
It was the second failed execution in Tennessee this year. In May, officials called off the lethal injection of Tony Carruthers, convicted of kidnapping and killing three people in 1994, after executioners spent more than an hour trying unsuccessfully to place an IV for the pentobarbital.
Lethal injection is widely regarded as the most error-prone method of execution in the US. Since the beginning of 2020, 170 people have been executed in 17 states, with most executions taking place in Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma. During that period, six states have recorded botched lethal injections, according to the Death Penalty Information Center, a nonprofit that provides data and analysis on capital punishment.
The ‘right batch’ of the Pfizer vaccine (bioweapon) would have done the job.

The U.S. has never been, is not now, and never will be a ‘Christian Nation’…
It was founded by Freemasons for Freemasons, and ‘Capital Punishment’ aka the ‘Death Sentence’ extends the cruelty of Satanic / Luciferian blood sacrifice to the Judge’s bench Under Admiralty Law and the worship of Saturn where Civil Law is totally removed.
Now, more laws are on the books in those States that allow for the Death Sentence.
Florida is the most notable, with DeSantis now allowing the Death Penalty for paedophiles who rape children under 12, and that has kicked open the doors for the below to later have the Death Penalty expanded and allowed for under State Law.

The above laws probably won’t apply to J3w$, as the Talmud allows for the raping a child..

So as we can see, this mess in Florida and other ‘Death Penalty States’ is hypocritical, as most of the Death Penalty States are in the Bible Belt South, and the teachings of Christ are totally ignored, but replaced with the teachings of Freemasons Manly Hall, Albert Pike and Albert Mackey which are quietly heralded behind the scenes in …’Southern Culture and Politics’!
Death Penalty actions are blood sacrifices for Freemasonry (Lucifer) and to the Talmud (Judiasm)
Dipsh*t yanks displaying their stock-standard totally moronic INCOMPETENCE again and again and again…
Just read this on RT. Second time this year apparently for these disgusting botched executions. Yes her crime was horrible and yes she belongs on prison but I am not a supporter of state sanctioned murder. Given they have now executed this woman if there is any fairness in this system double jeopardy should apply.
Obnoxious weeds never die.
it’s obvious on the record that she was raped as a toddler, had been physically and emotionally abused, had chronic PTSD, and thus she would have been able to identify her abusers!
Were these ‘abusers and rapists’ people of power & effect? aka ‘The Pillars of Society’???
I suspect that this is the case, and this is why they wanted her gone!
The Jury was NOT informed of the abuse that this kid suffered all of her life, as this would have exposed some powerful people, similar to Epstein’s flight logs…!
So to shut her up, the were hoping for a quick death sentence so that those who abused her would not be identified!
Where was the adult supervision at the time of the murder, & why were 3 kids allowed to go away from the camp and into the woods without the same before the murder occurred???
Here’s a factual observation;
Free Nations (though never really ..’free’..as most are under Admiralty Law…) do not usually have death penalties.
Tyrannical Police State Nations have death penalties.
Radicalised Religious Nations have death penalties.
So…where does that leave the ‘free’ nations when Noahide Law enforced by Talmudic Martial Law arrives in all countries?

I note this woman was convicted in 1996. It it now 2026. Some 30 years later. That this is the first woman sentenced to death in 200 years. Furthermore this woman is still living.
Gender discrimination reaches a new level of acceptance.
Yep, they even debated whether a woman could be executed.
Equality prevailed (then failed).
One long journey of sadness and pain from start to finish for everyone with zero winners in between APART from the sleazy and eager eye-darting lawyers involved who no fkn doubt at all happily pocketed millions from their whole deliberately drawn-out clusterf*ck of “judicial” bullsh*t
I fail to understand how lethal injection is one of the most error prone methods of execution.
This is the exact same drug Veterinarians use on a daily basis for euthanasia of peoples beloved pets. The animal is usually deceased before the syringe of pentobarbital is even emptied.
