US death row inmate Christa Pike is "conscious and speaking" after surviving a failed execution attempt in the US state of Tennessee last week. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing BBC News.
Pike continues to receive critical medical care while handcuffed in hospital, according to a statement from her attorneys on Tuesday.
An aneasthesiologist advising Pike's defence team said her survival is highly unusual, and while her prognosis remains unclear, "at a minimum, we expect a long recovery".
