The lone woman on Tennessee’s death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said “executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals” and Christa Pike was “still alive and snoring,” her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike “has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat” and that curtains to the death chamber “have gone down twice.”
Except in my scenario she would not have received the injections. The state shouldn’t be murdering people anyway. My point is there is no ethical or humane way to do this. They’re murdering someone. Its gruesome no matter the method.
Everyone is in agreement on that.
The comment I replied to was saying that if you’re going to execute someone, you can’t take them to hospital if it doesn’t work. My answer is, it’s absurd but that’s the best option.
Of course you’re welcome to opine that people shouldn’t be executed, but that’s not what this thread is about.
Idk someone else replied to me without this sort of interaction so its all good.
I’m sorry you find this sort of interaction so disagreeable.
