Christa Pike, 50, remains critically ill and unconscious in hospital under guard after a botched execution attempt in Tennessee on Wednesday, when executioners used at least seven needles to administer two doses of pentobarbital. Her lawyer says she may never fully recover as doctors try to flush the drug from her system. Separately, Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada has resigned, effective later this month.
