Tennessee officials haven’t explained yet what went wrong during the failed execution of Christa Pike, which was called off after she was given an initial and a backup dose of the drug meant to kill her.
I oppose the death penalty generally, but lethal injection in particular is incredibly cruel. It’s designed to prevent the appearance of suffering, but not the experience - people who have survived botched “lethal injection” have described it as excruciating. Honestly a firing squad would be far better.
