Christa Pike was “angry and confused” in the hours after regaining consciousness following Tennessee’s failed execution attempt, first asking, “Where am I?” her lawyer said Wednesday.
Pike, believed to be the first person to survive after receiving lethal injection drugs during an execution, stunningly woke up as plans were being made to remove her from life support, just six days after she was strapped to a gurney in the death chamber, said attorney Randy Spivey.
“But on Tuesday, to the shock of everyone … Christa woke up and began talking,” Spivey said.
Why without parole? She clearly needed therapy before she committed the murder, why keep denying it now? If she reaches a state where she is no danger to others, she should have a chance to try and rehabilitate. Her victim never had a chance, but two wrongs don’t make a right.
The American prison system is a business. It has no room in the budget for compassion, and no KPIs relate to wellness or rehab. Into the oubliette with her!
Prisoners on death row only cost money, so it makes sense, business-wise, to release her.
Costs who money?
