What Christa Pike Did After the State Gave Her Two Lethal Injections

Christa Pike survived two lethal injections on September 30, 2026. The state of Tennessee gave her two doses of pentobarbital — the drug used in its execution protocol — and neither one worked. Witnesses reported Pike breathing on the gurney, saying her arm felt like it was about to burst, and audibly snoring. Corrections officials stopped the execution and called an ambulance. Pike was transported to a hospital. Governor Bill Lee halted all executions statewide and ordered a third-party review. Pike murdered 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in January 1995 at a Job Corps center in Knoxville. Slemmer’s family has waited more than 31 years for closure. Instead, they watched the state bungle the execution and wheel the killer to a hospital. Tennessee now faces a question it cannot answer: how does this happen with unlimited resources and months to prepare?
