> Authorities in Tennessee released emergency calls made after Christa Pike’s execution failed. The recordings show responders struggled to determine whether a request for help from the execution chamber was genuine or a prank, allegedly delaying Pike’s hospital transfer. Pike, convicted of killing Colleen Slemmer in 1995, received two lethal injections that did not kill her.
