Tennessee execution team members warned that Christa Pike’s vein might be ‘blowing’ before they began administering pentobarbital, her lawyer has revealed. The disclosure comes as part of a new account describing internal doubts within the intravenous team tasked with establishing the line used for the failed execution.
According to The Guardian, the team used as many as 10 needles during attempts to insert an IV, and roughly 20 minutes into the process, they discussed whether the prisoner’s vein was deteriorating. These revelations add to ongoing scrutiny over how death penalty procedures are carried out in the state.
