Pike survived a lethal injection execution on Wednesday. She was sentenced to death for the 1995 killing of her classmate, Colleen Slemmer.

Christa Pike, the woman who survived an execution attempt in Tennessee earlier this week, is on a ventilator as she receives care in the hospital, her lawyers said in a new statement Friday.

“Christa remains critically ill and is receiving medical care for the devastating effects of Wednesday night’s events,” the lawyers’ statement said. “She is critically ill, unconscious, intubated and receiving breathing assistance through a ventilator.”

The statement said she is being treated for “the serious effects of the pentobarbital administered during the execution attempt, including significant injuries to both arms.”

    So much for the “christian values” they say to follow. The US is rotten and violence is worshipped so much in the country that this kind of thing is not cause to revolt because she “deserves it”.

    You’re not so different from the zionazi state. You’re just more westerner. Christians… shitty hypocrites is what you are. It’s really sad that there is no god nor heaven, you’d all go to hell if that were the case.

    And before anyone comes saying bs, no. I’m not defending what this woman did. She deserves prison for what she did. But the way the US “justice” system works is nothing about justice, is plain revenge and slavery. And how interesting is to see them justify the system with their “christian” values…

    The world deserves a yellowstone eruption.
