Christa Pike, a US inmate, has said she woke up confused and in pain after a lethal injection execution failed in September. In her first public statement since the attempt, she said she went into the execution chamber prepared to die in peace. She now says she feels constant pain. The BBC reported her statement, and PBS NewsHour reported that she described ongoing pain following the botched execution in Tennessee. The account adds to scrutiny of how the execution was carried out.
