Christa Pike 'angry and confused' after botched execution attempt - Watch ITV News at Ten LIVE

Death row inmate Christa Pike regained consciousness roughly six days after Tennessee’s failed attempt to execute her and was “speaking limitedly," one of her attorneys said during a court hearing Wednesday. Pike, 50, survived even after executioners tried to give her two lethal doses of pentobarbital on September 30. She was sentenced to death for the 1995 beating and stabbing death of classmate Colleen Slemmer. She is the only person known to have survived the lethal injection in the US, leaving many unanswered questions about what went wrong.
