Tennessee prisoner’s legal team makes emergency court petition after Pike wakes up in hospital
Christa Pike’s lawyer tells the court that the state of Tennessee had made no promises that it will not seek a future execution.
“The state has made no promises that Ms Pike will not be subject to a future execution, and the evidence that we are seeking to preserve now is relevant for any future challenge that she makes, because as we pled in January, the same thing is likely to happen,” Luke Ihnen said.
