Christa Pike -where does she stand legally?

[mids2019]

Just this really. Christ a is obviously being giving life saving treatment at hospital but where does she now stand legally. I suppose she probably has irreversible brain damage so will this not allow a second execution to take place? Is this a cruel and unusual punishment?

I thought you had seen a big fish.

What a country.

Christa Pike? Why would you think she needs life saving treatment?

Read the news.

She’s in hospital now after two doses of the lethal injection left her unconscious but alive.

I thought they stopped it with 40 minutes to go?

She confessed to the killing I really dont think there should have been any stays during the procedure unless she was innocent or there was a chance she was innocent its barbaric

What a dreadful situation on so, so many levels.

There's obviously nothing funny about any part of this story but 'Christ A Pike' made me actually lol.

Just read an article. It implied there is no protocol for a situation like this, ie if the patient survives. That’s pretty shocking as well.

It’s a bloody mess, how incompetent do you have to be to fail in this one task.
Not that I agreed with it in the beginning.

Terrible outcome for perpetrator and victims family.

Exactly that. Tragic from the get go.

I wonder how much life saving treatment is given and what the thoughts of the medical staff are? They are obviously trying to save a women for what reason?

The state has suspended executions for a year so if she does survive then she gets a bit more time?

I thought this too but news update in the last 10 minutes says something very different.

This woman is evil. This is the woman that tortured and murdered a girl and then carried a piece of her skull around with her. That’s what I call cruel and unusual.

I don't think there was a resus team on hand strangely enough.....it's a mess and I don't know how this will knock on through the US legal landscape.

She’ll just be executed at a later date. The idea that a failed execution means no death penalty is a social media myth.

I read on an American page that the state can give 4 doses of the lethal injections and they gave 2.

What a mess though.

The state should be utterly ashamed. She should be released now.

You’re absolutely correct , what she did was barbaric and appalling and it is shocking but equally what has now happened to her is barbaric appalling and shocking. I think it’s justifiable to find what she did as horrific as what has now been done to her.

It's so bizarre the whole thing. Such a ridiculous system.

I think it's a bit late for that, she is barely alive if the American reporters are right.

I would expect she will have a brain injury if she survives so may not ever be released or put back in prison.

🤣🤣🤣

How embarrassing.
