Story summary

Judge I'Ashea Myles ordered Tennessee prison officials to preserve all evidence from the botched lethal injection of Christa Pike, including medical waste, log books, and communication records. This came a week after Pike was administered two doses of pentobarbital during an execution attempt on September 30 but survived in critical condition. Pike's lawyers also secured "liberal access" to their client, allowing them to request in-person visits with her within two hours of the requests being made. Following her recovery from unconsciousness, Pike is described as confused and angry about what happened; she had been hospitalized for six days on a ventilator before regaining consciousness. The preservation order aims to prevent any future execution attempts that may violate her constitutional rights.
