Tennessee attempted to execute 50-year-old Christa Pike on Wednesday night for a 1995 murder. She was given two doses of pentobarbital — the lethal injection drug. She remained conscious after the first. She was still alive after the second. Witnesses said she was loudly snoring on the gurney. She was taken to hospital and remains in critical condition.
