Christa Pike is walking with help and regaining movement a week after Tennessee’s failed execution, her attorneys say

Christa Pike, a 50-year-old Tennessee death row inmate, has begun walking with assistance and regained some movement one week after a failed execution attempt. Attorneys for Pike confirmed her progress on Thursday, noting that she is also eating following the procedure, which had previously left her in critical condition.

The incident occurred after the state administered two doses of pentobarbital in an attempt to carry out her death sentence. Pike remains under medical observation as she recovers from the effects of the failed execution.
