Christa Pike, a 50-year-old death row inmate, has been discharged from the hospital and returned to prison following a failed execution attempt last month. Pike survived two lethal injection procedures before being hospitalized over a week ago due to the complications of the botched execution.
Pike was originally convicted of the 1996 first-degree murder of a classmate, a crime she committed when she was 19 years old. Her recent return to custody comes 10 days after the initial failed execution, according to a statement released by her legal counsel.
