- On Wednesday, Pike received two lethal doses of pentobarbital, remained alive, and was taken to hospital by ambulance.
- Her lawyers say at least seven needles were used for intravenous lines, with one reportedly bent at 90 degrees.
- Governor Bill Lee ordered an independent review and halted executions in Tennessee for the year.
- Authorities have not explained what went wrong or said whether they will attempt another execution.
"she would have surely died"— Dr. Joel Zivot, an anesthesiologist advising Pike's defence team, said that two doses of pentobarbital would have been enough to cause death if it had entered her bloodstream in normal circulation.
