Christa Pike was set to perish in a capital punishment procedure in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 30, for the 1995 homicide of Colleen Slemmer that she admitted to.
However, a botched lethal injection procedure sent her to the hospital instead, after two doses of administered pentobarbital, a heavy-duty sedative, failed to end her life.
After a little over a week in recovery, Pike was discharged from the hospital and went back to the Deborah K Johnson Rehabilitation Center, where she has been imprisoned for the last three decades, her lawyers said on Saturday, October 10.
