> Confusion between prison officials and emergency responders delayed medical help for Christa Pike after she survived an attempted lethal injection, the Associated Press reported. The first 911 call came about an hour after the procedure began; another half-hour passed before prison officials verified the emergency and let responders in. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee ordered an investigation and halted another execution scheduled for 2026.
