Christa Pike

She would have become the first woman to be executed in the United States in nearly two centuries. But Christa Pike, convicted of murdering a schoolmate, survived lethal injection three decades ago.

After debates and a legal battle that ended with the high court's decision to allow the execution, at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, two syringes of pentobarbital were injected into the convict in a Nashville prison, but to the surprise of those present, her heart continued to beat.

Journalists inside the prison reported that during the process she could be heard gasping for breath and complaining of pain or discomfort in her arm. At one point, the curtain of the execution chamber was closed and the journalists were asked to leave.

The woman's legal team immediately filed a motion to stay the execution, and Pike was transported to an off-campus hospital where they say she is receiving life-saving treatment. Pike was just 18 when, in 1995, she, along with her boyfriend and another person, lured 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer to a wooded area, where she tortured and murdered her.

Pike and her boyfriend pleaded guilty to the crime and were convicted of first-degree murder. Pike's lawyers had sought a stay of execution, arguing that she had been the victim of abuse and neglect as a child and suffered from mental health problems.

After the failed execution, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee suspended all other executions for the year and called for an independent investigation into the procedure.
