A Tennessee woman on death row is now in hospital after surviving two doses of a lethal injection drug. Officials were attempting to execute 50-year-old Christa Pike over a murder she committed when she was 18 years old. Her case has attracted renewed scrutiny around the country's justice system and its use of capital punishment. The state's governor has ordered an investigation and halted all scheduled executions for the rest of the year. Rebecca Johnston reports.
