Christa Pike's aunt says God is in control

Christa Pike's aunt Carrie Ross says God, not the Department of Correction, controls her niece's survival after failed execution attempt.

“When God puts his hand on someone, God is in control. Not the Department of Correction, not us, but God.”

Pike survived execution attempt

Christa Pike was given two doses of pentobarbital at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville and survived the execution attempt.

Pike's health condition

Pike cannot eat or swallow, has blood clots in her arm, pneumonia, and extraordinary swelling in her hands.

Legal team's update

Pike's lawyers believed she was brain dead Monday but she became conscious and speaking Tuesday.

Aunt's concerns

Pike's aunt says she should not face execution a second time as she has already suffered 'torture' and 'completed her execution'.

“She has completed her execution. She went willingly.”
