One of her attorneys told the BBC that Pike, 50, was in hospital after two syringes of pentobarbital had been administered.

Did they use Temu drugs?

This is embarrassing. Now they're trying to save her life and provide care for her to make her fit enough so that they can try to put her to death for a third time...

I've read somewhere that she requested firing squad instead of lethal injection. Maybe they should have listened lol.

Death penalty cases are cruel and unusual punishment, since every legal step is appealed to the n-th degree, and often literally at the last minute. 30 years makes makes the Zuma trial seem speedy by comparison:

Execution of US murderer Christa Pike halted shortly before it was due to happen

Pike was convicted and sentenced to death in 1996 for the murder of Colleen Slemmer.

The only time it is permissible is if someone on an existing life sentence wants out. Which is actually a thing btw:

In 2018, Fletcher was 24 years into his sentence for the 1994 murder of Milton Grossman. Fletcher told investigators he decided to kill Davis to get the death penalty.

Fletcher wanted the death penalty after he failed to commit suicide. Fletcher struck up a friendship with Davis after the pair became cellmates.

On the night before the murder, Fletcher and Davis were given drugs by another inmate. The pair got high and Fletcher asked Davis if he contemplated suicide.

When Davis confirmed, Fletcher walked behind Davis and strangled him. Fletcher pled guilty and knew he would face the death penalty. At his final hearing, Fletcher declined to have legal counsel present evidence in his favor.

Then you don't need the appeals process etc.
 
She is the devil spawn.

What goes around comes around... what did her victim feel and go through.

Just put a pillow over her head while in hospital... screw all this humane bullsiht malarkey.
 
The state correction department added that Pike had been taken to an off-site medical facility.

One of her lawyers said she was "being provided life-saving measures" in hospital.

Her health status is unclear as of Thursday morning.
In his emailed comments to the BBC, Zivot said: "It's very possible that as a consequence of the delay of the beginning of resuscitation she will have a brain injury."

What an absolute F__Kup. If she ends up with brain damage, they won't kill her. And they will be forced to look after her for the rest of her life. So there goes any cost savings.

So why not mandate someone to rape her?

Perhaps they used homoeopathic pentobarbital elixirs.

A teaspoon of the actual stuff mixed into 1000 m³ of low concentration saline (few grains of salt) solution.
