Author: Darren Marlar | Weird Darkness October 1, 2026 Duration: 14:04
Tennessee gave Christa Pike two full doses of pentobarbital at Riverbend on Wednesday night, and she was still snoring behind a closed curtain when the witnesses were led out; she's alive in a hospital, the governor has called off the state's last execution of the year and ordered an outside review, and nobody has said whether Tennessee will try again to execute her.
