Ultimora.net reported that Christa Pike, 50 years old, sentenced to death in Tennessee for a murder committed in 1995, had survived two injections of pentobarbital and was unconscious, on mechanical ventilation, with serious injuries and swelling in both arms. According to the publication, her lawyers argued that the prison staff responsible for the execution, who by law could not be doctors or nurses, had misinserted the IVs, causing the drugs to end up in the tissues rather than in the blood. After the execution was suspended, some doctors intervened to assist her and attempt to save her life. #Giustizia #DirittiUmani #CondannaASchiuma (translated)
