> Lawyers for US death row inmate Christa Pike asked a judge to order Tennessee to preserve all evidence from last week’s failed execution. They say she survived two doses of pentobarbital, is now conscious and speaking, and continues to receive care while handcuffed. The motion could lay the groundwork for a lawsuit against the state.
