Christa Pike's Failed Execution: One Doctor, Two Botched Attempts, Murdaugh Says the State Hid a Police Chief's Role, TJ Wiggins Faces Death

Christa Pike's Failed Execution: One Doctor, Two Botched Attempts, Murdaugh Says the State Hid a Police Chief's Role, TJ Wiggins Faces Death

Christa Gail Pike remains hospitalized two days after Tennessee failed to execute her, and her attorneys say they still have not been told her condition. Dr. Mark Walton Fowler, the contract physician who publicly confirmed he would oversee her execution, was also the physician involved in Tennessee's halted execution of Tony Carruthers in May; Carruthers's sister has filed a Department of Health complaint alleging malpractice, and no disciplinary action has been announced. The state's written protocol directs a second set of syringes if the first fails but says nothing about what happens if the second fails too. Robin Maher of the Death Penalty Information Center calls it unlike any botched execution in the modern era. Gov. Bill Lee has ordered a third-party review. In Florida, a Polk County jury convicted Tony Lee "TJ" Wiggins Jr. of first-degree murder in the 2020 killings of Damion Tillman, Brandon Rollins and Keven Springfield, and is now hearing whether to recommend death. And Alex Murdaugh's attorneys have moved to compel records, saying the state has held a witness statement since 2023 that a police chief handled the never-recovered murder weapons. Garret Fisher reports.
