Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike reportedly survived a lethal injection attempt and was later found awake and speaking, according to her lawyers. Experts called the outcome unprecedented, saying she is believed to be the only known person in US history to survive an execution by lethal injection. The incident has raised fresh questions about execution protocols and the reliability of lethal injection methods, which have faced scrutiny in recent years over botched procedures. Pike's legal team is expected to raise the incident in future appeals or clemency arguments.
