Christa Pike, a 50-year-old woman on death row in Tennessee, was given two doses of a lethal injection but was still alive afterward and had to be taken to the hospital. Her execution was carried out after the Supreme Court overturned a last-minute federal court stay.
Key Facts

Two doses of the lethal injection drug pentobarbital failed to kill her.
Pike was taken to the hospital because her heart was still beating after the execution attempt.
The execution went ahead after the US Supreme Court cancelled a federal appeals court stay just an hour before the scheduled time.
Pike was convicted in 1996 for the 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer, a young woman she considered a romantic rival.
