Last week, the Tennessee Department of Correction tried and failed to execute a woman for the first time in 200 years. Despite the fact that she was administered not one but two lethal injections, 50-year-old Christa Pike survived and is now conscious and talking. In today’s podcast, we’ll explain the context to her death penalty, what happened last week and what could come next.
