Christa Pike, a convicted murderer, has been discharged from the hospital and returned to prison after a botched execution attempt on September 30th. Pike, who has been on death row for 30 years, survived two lethal injections of pentobarbital, which initially left her in critical condition. She has since regained consciousness and is receiving ongoing medical care at the prison. Pike was convicted of the 1996 murder of 19-year-old Slemmer when Pike was 18. Her survival of the execution attempt is considered unprecedented, as she is believed to be the only person to have survived a lethal injection.
