NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Christa Pike remained alive Thursday, a day after she survived a failed attempt to execute her for the 1995 murder of a woman, one of her lawyers said.
Lawyer Randy Pivey said Pike is being treated at a hospital, but that he and the rest of her legal team didn't know her condition.
