Christa Pike remains unconscious and on a ventilator in a Tennessee hospital four days after a botched execution attempt. Her attorney, Stephen Ferrell, stated on CNN that Pike has not regained consciousness since the incident. Medical decisions for the 50-year-old Pike, who was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of classmate Colleen Slemmer, are being made by a designated individual to protect her privacy. The execution was delayed over eight hours while the U.S. Supreme Court reviewed a stay. Tennessee officials have faced scrutiny over execution procedures, and Governor Bill Lee has ordered an independent investigation into the state's death penalty system.
