US death row inmate Christa Pike conscious after failed execution
Christa Pike, a 50-year-old death row inmate in Tennessee, has regained consciousness and is speaking following a failed execution attempt last week. Her legal team describes her recovery as medically unprecedented. Pike remains in a Nashville hospital under critical care while handcuffed. Tennessee officials have suspended all executions for the remainder of the year, and the state's prison chief has announced his resignation following the incident.
