> After a Wednesday emergency court hearing, Christa Pike’s lawyers said preserving evidence from her failed execution attempt last week was only the first step in a lengthy legal battle. The judge ordered Tennessee to retain physical evidence, including IVs and syringes, along with all communications and surveillance video. Her lawyers said this was needed for transparency.
