> Christa Pike was expected to become Tennessee’s first woman executed in 200 years, but she survived two lethal injections on Wednesday. Convicted in 1996 of torturing and murdering a classmate with her boyfriend and another friend, Pike’s execution is examined by anesthesiologist Dr. Joel Zivot, who explains why “everything went wrong.”
