According to Tagesschau, Pike was initially unconscious after the execution attempt. The same outlet now reports that she is responsive again.
The news that she regained consciousness and is able to speak was also reported by France 24 and The New Indian Express, which attributed the information to the inmate’s lawyers.
France 24 reports that Pike’s prognosis remains uncertain, according to her lawyers.
According to France 24, Pike received two doses described as lethal of pentobarbital during the botched execution. The available material does not specify the exact date of the attempt or the name of the prison.
France 24 places the botched execution in the week preceding its report, without providing a precise date.
Pike’s lawyers are asking for her death sentence to be commuted to life imprisonment, according to Tagesschau.
France 24 also reports that Pike was sentenced to death for a murder committed when she was a teenager. The available information does not report the outcome of the request filed by her lawyers.
