Christa Pike's botched execution attempt raises double jeopardy question in Tennessee

Christa Pike, on death row in Tennessee, survived an apparent botched execution attempt and has regained consciousness. Her lawyers argue that the failed execution constitutes cruel and unusual punishment and invoke double jeopardy to seek a life sentence, but a 1947 Supreme Court precedent may allow the state to try again. This case tests legal limits on repeated execution attempts and could set precedent for capital punishment procedures.
