Death row inmate Christa Pike has woken up and is speaking almost a week after a botched execution attempt at a US prison. The 50-year-old was rushed to hospital following two doses of the lethal injection drug pentobarbital, inside the death chamber in Tennessee. Pike's attorneys are seeking a court order to preserve evidence about what happened in the failed lethal injection. We take a closer look at the state of the death penalty and executions in the United States and what may comes next.
