Funny enough she actually specifically requested firing squad or hanging over to concerns she had over their ability to access her veins due to some medical condition.

You and I both know that often veins can't be easily accessed due to intravenous drug use or whatever you call it. That's a common thing. In her case I don't know her specifics.

Christa Pike is now up and walking, though it sounds like she still has some sort of mental capacity deficits that aren’t yet fully quantified.

Tennessee’s prisons chief has resigned (rightly so), and the state has halted executions while they examine what went wrong.

Pike beat her victim for an hour, cut with a box cutter and a meat cleaver, slashed her throat multiple times, and a pentagram was cut into the victims chest.

Pike finally killed Slemmer by beating her head in with a large chunk of asphalt,

That botched execution was karma. The amount of pandering to Pike over the years is disgusting.

With the following caveat:

Because the state constitution requires California Supreme Court approval for clemency involving people convicted of more than one felony, the court would need to sign off on 382 of the commutations, about 70% of the total, according to his office.
