SocietyLIVE: Christa Pike’s attorney speaks after failed execution

Christa Pike’s attorney holds a news conference after Pike’s lethal injection failed. Pike, 50, was sentenced to death in the 1990s after a jury convicted her of a murder committed when she was a teenager. The botched execution at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution, Tennessee’s second this year, underscores the difficulties US states face in carrying out lethal injections.
