> Christa Pike, who survived a failed lethal injection at a Tennessee prison, has spoken publicly for the first time, saying she is in constant physical and emotional pain and struggling to speak. Held in solitary confinement, she remains scheduled to die. Her lawyers are seeking permission for her to interact with other prisoners and have urged the governor to commute her sentence to life in prison.
