US death row inmate Christa Pike is «conscious and speaking» after surviving a failed execution attempt in the US state of Tennessee last week. Pike continues to receive critical medical care while handcuffed in hospital, according to a statement from her attorneys on Tuesday.
An aneasthesiologist advising Pike’s defence team said her survival is highly unusual, and while her prognosis remains unclear, «at a minimum, we expect a long recovery».
