Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike conscious after botched execution

Christa Pike, sentenced to death in Tennessee, is conscious and speaking six days after a September 30 lethal injection attempt failed, her attorneys said Tuesday. She received two doses of the drug but survived and was taken from the execution chamber by ambulance; she remains hospitalized with damage to her arms. Her attorney has called on Governor Bill Lee to commute her sentence; Lee has not done so.
