Convicted murderer Christa Pike survived an attempt to execute her by lethal injection in Tennessee on Wednesday (Sep 30), in what would have been the state’s first execution of a woman in more than 200 years. Witnesses said Pike was seen smiling at one point during the procedure and received a second dose of the lethal drug after the first failed to execute her. She remained alive and was taken to hospital for medical treatment. #usnews Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
