We will be discussing the Cornell 7.
This is the literal definition of cruel and unusual- arguing the state doesn’t have a duty to give medical care when someone doesn’t die and is lying on the table suffering. Shame in Tennessee.
Good chance that she is brain dead which would render her incompetent to be executed.
NEW, CHRISTA PIKE: Pike’s attorneys are detailing Tennessee’s “botched” attempt to execute her, and the allegations are🤯
In a new filing with the Sixth Circuit, Pike’s lawyers say the execution team struggled to find a vein for over two hours and used numerous different needles before administering pentobarbital. According to the filing:
-Pike allegedly remained conscious and continued moving after the drug was administered.
-The execution team then injected her with a second syringe of pentobarbital. She still did not die.
-Her attorneys say the entire execution process lasted more than two hours as they filed emergency motions in multiple courts seeking to stop it.
-The filing alleges that before the prison called an ambulance, attorneys for Tennessee argued TDOC had NO obligation to provide Pike with life-saving medical care.
-Pike was ultimately transported to a hospital, where her attorneys said she remained alive when the notice was filed Oct. 1.
The filing comes after the Sixth Circuit initially stayed Pike’s Sept. 30 execution so it could consider her legal arguments, only for the U.S. Supreme Court to vacate that stay hours later. And Pike’s federal case is not over: her attorneys told the appeals court that because she survived…she still has a “concrete stake” in the unresolved legal issues.
