Released 911 logs reveal 30-minute emergency delay in Pike's botched execution
Newly released 911 recordings show a 30-minute delay in emergency response after Christa Pike survived a botched lethal injection in Tennessee. The delay was caused by confusion over verification codes between prison officials and dispatchers. Pike, who was briefly declared brain dead, has returned to prison, while legal experts debate whether a second execution attempt would violate double jeopardy protections.
