A hearing is held into death row inmate Christa Pike’s botched execution after her lawyers revealed that she was awake and speaking in hospital. “Against all odds, Christa Pike is conscious, speaking, and continues to receive critical medical care,” they said. “Despite the severe damage she endured to her arms, she is still handcuffed and shackled to the bed. Her recovery is medically unprecedented. “Her prognosis remains unclear but, at a minimum, we expect a long recovery." • Subscribe to ITV News In Full on YouTube: / @itvnewsinfull • Get breaking news and more stories at: http://www.itv.com/news • Follow ITV News on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en • Follow ITV News on Instagram: / itvnews • Follow ITV News on Facebook: / itvnews • Follow ITV News on X: / itvnewsitv News In Full
