Tennessee botched execution of Christa Pike sparks calls for US death penalty moratorium

Tennessee's attempted execution of Christa Pike was halted after two syringes were administered, leaving her alive but in critical condition. The incident, described as 'unimaginably barbaric' by experts, has intensified calls from lawyers, doctors, and faith leaders for a moratorium on the US death penalty. This marks a notable escalation in the recent series of botched executions, raising questions about the legality and humanity of current lethal injection protocols.
