Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike will likely have brain damage after her botched execution, during which she chillingly lifted her head and asked if the pain she was feeling was normal.
Pike, 50, was rushed to the hospital Wednesday after the Tennessee Department of Corrections administered two doses of the highly potent sedative, Pentobarbital, but it failed to kill her.
The murderer, who was sentenced to death for the monstrous 1995 slaying of a classmate, was “being provided life-saving measures” in the hospital, her lawyers said – but she likely has a brain injury as a result.
Emory University School of Medicine professor Dr. Joel Zivot – who was retained by Pike’s legal team as a medical expert – told the BBC that the amount of the lethal drug pentobarbital in her blood likely never reached a level high enough to stop her breathing and heartbeat.
“It’s very possible that as a consequence of the delay of the beginning of resuscitation she will have a brain injury,” Zivot explained.

Good grief.....what a mess. SMH

Ping!
Give her 30 expired mRNA COVID vaccines.
Nothing a bullet can’t cure.
Make that 30,000.
True.
Peak incompetence! Grab any idiot off the street and tell him to perform an execution. He is more likely to do the job.
They need to swap out Pentobarbital for Fentanyl.
Incompetence or deliberate?
Seems like they would keep a laundry bag handy as a backup.
Killing......so easy a caveman could do it.
A .45 ACP would have been cheaper.
If she’s brain damaged she probably can’t be executed, depending on the severity.
Someone watered down the drugs to get this effect.
Doctor in Christa Pike execution tied to earlier botched lethal injection
Should we outsource our executions to Cacanada now?
What’s with these botched executions? When my very old and sick dog had to be put down, it didn’t take long, and it was easy and painless.
‘likely’, ‘very possible’, not ‘does’.............
She requested an all female squad.
As an attempt to not get executed.
The insanity of taking someone who was intentionally injected with a lethal dose to a hospital is outrageous.
Hang her and move on.
All because the company that made the drugs that work not available any longer.
