Christa Pike, US convicted murderer, is undergoing treatment at a hospital and is and being given "life-saving measures" after Tennessee authorities failed in their attempt to execute her by lethal injection. Christa Pike was administered two syringes of the drug pentobarbital. But her legal team said these failed to stop her heartbeat and that she could still be heard snoring. As of now, her condition is not known.
Growing up, Christa Oike suffered an “almost unbearably abusive background,” according to Dr. Jonathan Pincus, Professor of Neurology at Georgetown University. A victim of child sexual abuse, multiple rapes, and parental abandonment and neglect, Christa first attempted to take her own life when she was twelve. When she was seventeen, a stranger grabbed her by the side of the road, threw her down, and violently raped her. The police never arrested him.
