> Christa Pike, convicted of killing a schoolmate about three decades ago, survived Tennessee’s attempt to execute her by lethal injection late Wednesday, prison officials said. The failure came as the state made its first attempt in two centuries to put a woman to death. Pike was taken for medical treatment, with her condition and possible next legal steps unclear.
