EXPLAINED: Governor indicates whats next for christa pike after failed execution | Rare Historical Photos

Christa Pike Bill Lee

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee indicated that convicted murderer Christa Pike's death sentence will likely stand unless challenged by the courts following her botched execution.
Pike survived a double dose of lethal injection drugs during her September 30 execution attempt, making her the first person to survive receiving lethal injection drugs.
Governor Lee halted all executions in Tennessee through the end of the year while officials investigate what went wrong during the procedure.
Pike was discharged from the hospital on October 10 and returned to prison to continue receiving medical care, having woken up with no memory of the ordeal.
Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada announced his resignation as anti- death penalty activists call for Pike's sentence to be commuted to life without parole.
