Christa Pike, a Tennessee death row inmate who survived two lethal injections during a botched execution on September 30, is now "up and walking" in the hospital, according to her lawyer. She faces pneumonia, severe arm injuries, and is reportedly "angry and confused," unable to swallow or eat. A judge has ordered evidence from the failed execution be preserved, and lawyers for a Texas inmate, Jamaal Howard, cited the case in an unsuccessful bid to block his execution on October 7.

Each outlet is read blind: a classifier sees its headline and opening next to the story's own headline, without the outlet's name, and scores how the report presents the story. A logo sits at the classifier's average reading, so it can fall between two levels. These readings compare coverage of this story only; they are not ratings of the outlets.
