Tennessee Might Attempt Christa Pike Execution

Her attorneys argue that the first attempt was unconstitutionally cruel, and experts suggest that attempting another execution could violate constitutional protections, given the known difficulties with her veins. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has not responded to calls to commute her sentence, and legal precedents from 1947 leave the issue of a second execution unclear.
