Pike survived two full doses of a lethal sedative, remaining alive and audibly snoring for nearly an hour before the execution was suspended. She was then rushed to an off-site hospital for life-saving care. From the newsroom, Sam Homewood speaks to Dr Joel Zivot - a medical advisor to Pike's legal team.
